B- overall scoreFour groups had a higher scoreOne group had a lower scoreTwo groups had the same score |
How are scores calculated?The overall score is based on the average of the scores below for species abundance, blade length, and short shoot density. Each of these three scores is based on how close the reported values are to the overall averages ("true") across all groups participating in the transect training. Reported values summarized for each species across all transects that deviate largely from the averages are given lower scores. The overall score is then ranked relative to all other groups. |
