Table 3. Results of normal distribution (Shapiro-Wilk Test),
homoscedasticity (Levene’s Test), and independent t-test between
vegetation and diversity component in control and mulch treated sites.
significant values are shown by bold numbers. The non-significant values
in Shapiro-Wilk and Levene’s tests indicate normal distribution and
homogeneity in variance, respectively.
