Table 5

Comparison of mean and standard errors (SEs) of WFI scores for three categories of wetlands, sorted by distance (km) to RAP sites around Lake Ontario. Significant differences among categories are indicated by letters (a, b, c; ANOVA) and differences between time periods are indicated by numbers (1, 2; paired 𝑡-test).
