|---|---|---|---|
| Provisioning | Regulating and maintenance | Cultural | |
| Groupsa | F = 3.921, p = 0.0501 | F = 0.562, p = 0.455 | F = 0.017, p = 0.898 |
| Regular jobb | F = 2.407, p = 0.0693 | F = 1.906, p = 0.131 | F = 0.731, p = 0.535 |
| Genderc | F = 2.834, p = 0.063 | F = 0.463, p = 0.631 | F = 1.022, p = 0.363 |
| Agec | F = 1.211, p = 0.306 | F = 2.806, p = 0.014 | F = 0.81, p = 0.564 |
Numbers in bold present significant results
aGroups of birdwatchers, farmers and scientists were used for the analysis
bRegular job or fields used for the analysis of the three groups: nature related, technology and others. Farming was assumed as a nature related job
cGender and age variables were used only from the social profiles of birdwatchers and scientists, while farmers were excluded
