Fig. 3 Regression, stipe length vs. P. lanosa abundance. The green line representing the highest tidal height is difficult to see because it has values equal to zero and follows the X-axis. Tidal height did significantly effect the relationship (P = 0.02) as well as stipe length (P = .0013). The interaction between the two was not significant (P = 0.078).
