Ecology Lab Report

        Why did we use only the largest hardwoods for the t-tests rather than all the hardwoods? What do the number of small hardwoods vs. young pines (<60 cm) indicate? Why would you use only trees over 80 cm rather than all the pines and hardwoods for the Fisher’s exact test? Was the data similar between 2012 and 2019? Does that give more confidence or less confidence in the results? The t-tests in part 3 c & d in the Results section above are specifically testing how well the data was replicated from one year to another. Should there be a significant difference in measurements taken in the same forest area? Do you expect a high p-value or low p-value from those t-tests?
