Summary:
This lesson uses a t-test and ANOVA to determine if higher temperatures will have a significant impact on change in mangrove height, change in belowground biomass, and change in surface elevation in a transition area between salt marsh and mangrove…

Description
This resource is based on the paper titles "Warming accelerates mangrove expansion and surface elevation gain in a subtropical wetland" by Coldren et al. (2018). This paper focuses on how warming temperatures impact mangrove forests and freshwater marshes. In this lesson we shall focus on figures 2(a), 2(c), and 2(d) and use t-test and ANOVAs to determine if these observed differences are statistically significant.
