Exploration & description/ANOVA or REML?

To derive the corresponding F-values from the values of the Wald statistics one just needs to divide the Wald statistic by the corresponding degrees of freedom. These values are shown here under the column headed Wald/d.f.

The v.r. or F value for YEAR in the least squares analysis of variance shown further down is 48.99; this is the same as the corresponding Wald/d.f. value shown alongside.

Note also that the estimated residual variance is the same in both outputs, i.e. *units* stratum variance = 4.933 with 688 degrees of freedom, which is the same as the residual m.s. value in the least squares analysis of variance.
