Summary
Description
Using relative basal area by species of the 112 plots sampled across 11 stands at Seney NWR as part of the Rapid Ecological Assessment Corace et al. 2011, we used a MultiResponse Permutation Procedure MRPP to examine if there are differences in the overall overstory composition among the 11 stands. MRPP is a nonparametric technique that tests the hypothesis that there is no difference between groups of entities, in this case the overstory composition of stands at Seney NWR.
