Statistical tests (t-tests) were used to make sure that any differences seen were large enough to draw valid conclusions from. The data gathered was then collated and entered into Microsoft Excel. The data will be presented: o Histograms- Clast volume o Scattergraph- Velocity against depth o Column chart- dishcharge Results Clast volume: The above graph shows that the restoration has had an effect on clast volumes. The mean clast volume in the managed river is substantially smaller than the ...
