Guava cover and farming population values are means of 100 model runs with a 50% perturbation of the input variables, measured at time-step 50. Mean guava cover and population are compared to baseline model output using t-tests, and sensitivity values are reported for statistically significant differences. Percent changes from the baseline model are shown in parentheses
