Estimated Percent Tree Cover
Heat maps with data values for estimated percent tree cover (%) in both low-infestation and high-infestation forest plots. Lighter colors represent a more sparse canopy, while darker colors represent a fuller canopy. Blank spaces represent areas where hemlock is not dominant overstory species. T-Test was used to confirm statistical significance with p values < 0.05.
Light Intensity
Bar graph showing average light intensity data for both low-infestation and high-infestation forest plots. T-Test was used to confirm statistical significance with p values < 0.05.
Air Temperature
Bar graph showing average air temperature data for both low-infestation and high-infestation forest plots. T-Test was used to show statistical insignificance with p values > 0.05.
Soil Temperature
Bar graph showing average soil temperature data for both low-infestation and high-infestation forest plots. T-Test was used to show statistical insignificance with p values > 0.05.
