* Value is significantly different from 100 based on individual t-test at probability of 0.05. Significance of difference from 100 is dependent on consistency of response of each entry. Some entries were more variable than others, so significance from 100 was harder to detect for those. Stand and cover scores cannot be compared statistically across entries because of unequal variances (unequal variability among entries).
