Combination of nested and randomized block designs

\[ y_{ijkl} = \rlap{\overbrace{\phantom{\mu + \alpha_i + \beta_{j(i)}}}^\text{Nested component}}\mu + \alpha_i + \underbrace{\beta_{j(i)} + \gamma_k + \alpha\gamma_{ik} + \beta\gamma_{j(i)k}}_\text{Randomized block component} + \varepsilon_{ijkl} \]

\[ \begin{align} Abund_{ijkl} = &Base + Shade_i + Block_{j(i)} + Treat_k +\\ &Shade:Treat_{ik} +Block:Treat_{j(i)k} + \varepsilon_{ijkl} \end{align} \]
