Research, Policy and Practice

Table 1 Pearson’s product-moment correlations of selected weather parameters, averaged per day and mean daily altitude (m a.s.l. day−1) used by the sheep across the study period of three months. Indicated are r-value and p-value. Significant coefficients are shown in bold

From: Tracking free-ranging sheep to evaluate interrelations between selective grazing, movement patterns and the botanical composition of alpine summer pastures in northern Italy
