Exploring the correlations of size segregation with species mingling (A) and species segregation (B) in the study plots using linear regression and 95% confidence intervals. \(r\) represents the Pearson correlation coefficient. Four nearest neighbors were used to calculate species mingling (\(\widehat{\overline{M} }\)), species segregation (\(\widehat{\Psi }\)), and size segregation indices (\(\widehat{\Upsilon}\))
