Total number of wetlands/sites: 48 number of plots: 164 number of plots in Bog class: 31 number of plots in Fen class: 113 number of plots in Swamp class: 20 Total number of species found: 257
Note that fen is a very high proportion of the total plots. Fens are the most common type of peatland. Several of the sites classified as bog with the DU-EWC were in fact poor fens.
Figure 22. comparing species cover between plots. Took the for original species data frames for each plot and subtracted the Near from the Far data plot. Then compared the differences between sides with an ANOVA.
Table 1: ANOVA value. No significant findings not surprising considering the non-normal distribution of the species data.
Figure 23. Residuals appear to be close to zero and there are no clear patterns.
