Fig. 6. (A) Emergent vascular plant (macrophyte) biomass (mean ± 1 SE) at wetlands in each of the four study sites, and (B) percentage of invasive macrophyte species (mean ± 1 SE) at wetlands in each of the four study sites. Student t-tests were performed on pooled data from sites with either small-town or suburban typologies, i.e., sites 3.1 and 3.4 together vs. sites 3.7 and 4.2 together, to test H0 of no difference between typological means. The dark bars indicate that typological differences between watersheds with small-town typologies and those with suburban typologies were significant. Light bars indicate that the difference between typological means was not significant.
