All the graphs have data points which show the averages of the site between the two trials. There is a line of best fit which has a slope of r², which is the correlation value between canopy cover and the variable tested. Figure 1 shows the average macroinvertebrate rating between Trial 1 and Trial 2. The correlation value (r²) of 0.07 shows an extremely weak, negative relationship between canopy cover and macroinvertebrates. The site with 25% canopy cover had the highest average macroinvertebrate
