The significance level is indicated by *** ≤ 0.001, ** ≤0.01, * ≤ 0.05.
Numbers in the body of the table are the slope parameters of the linear regression. Cells which did not have a significant slope parameter are left blank. The number of sensitive species per CI and the number of significant CIs for each species are presented in the last line and column respectively.
