  1. Beta-coefficient, test statistic and semi-partial R 2β given for time, treatment and the interaction term
  2. For EG 4–7 analyses were performed first for all species in the respective EGs (results before slash) and second after excluding treatment species (graminoids and legumes) from the EGs (results after slash)
  3. S species richness, EG emergent group (see Table 1 for EGs names and content), T time since treatment (year), C control treatment, L legumes treatment, G graminoids treatment
