---|---|---|---|
Federal | 13,500 (53%) | 0.574 (0.114) | a |
Private | 10,600 (42%) | 0.472 (0.155) | b |
State | 1,100 (4%) | 0.544 (0.115) | a |
Other | 100 (1%) | 0.517 (0.089) | ― |
1 There was an overall significant difference in Landscape Integrity Index values among the land ownership types (one way Analysis of Variance; F2,147 = 14.78; P<0.001). Differences among ownership types are denoted alphabetically (a-b), based on Tukey HSD post hoc comparisons (α = 0.01). Other ownership types were excluded from statistical analysis due to the small size of these areas.
