Type III Tests of Fixed Effects and their interactions on seedling emergence (%) for Asclepias humistrata evaluated over 52 weeks in response to sowing seed within three microsite conditions, with two types of seed cover and four levels of protection. Weeks after Sowing = Seed sown June 9, 2019 and evaluated for emergence after 6, 7, 11, 20, 23, 38, and 52 weeks; Planting microsite = (seeds sown under a scrub oak canopy of Quercus geminata (sand live oak) or Q. myrtifolia (myrtle oak), on the gulf-side edge (drip line) of coastal scrub or in an open area gulf-side of coastal scrub); Seed cover = seeds covered by leaf litter or covered only with sand; Planting site protection = (seeds planted in open sand without protection, within PVC pipes, covered with a wire mesh or within PVC pipes covered with a wire mesh cover.
