Fig 8. Distance of a stand group (SG) to a forest–nonforest boundary.
The spatial analysis of the aspen and global/general forest SGs showed a significant difference between their distances from the forest–nonforest boundary. F-test between aspen datasets: F = 2.899, p-value < 2.2e-16. F-test between the aspen > 1% and global forest: F = 0.623, p-value < 2.2e-16. F-test between the aspen > 50% and global forest: F = 0.215, p-value < 2.2e-16.
