- This table shows the results of a Kruskal-Wallis H test of VPD incidence in various ecological zones. This test assumes the null hypothesis that there is no difference in the incidences among ecological zones. A significant p-value (p < 0.05) is followed by a post hoc pairwise comparison adjusted for multiple test (italics). *significant p values (p < 0.05); **significant p values (p < 0.0001).#Ecological Zones: Sudan Savannah (SS); Guinea Savannah (GS); Transition Zone (TZ); Semi Deciduous Forest (SDF); Tropical Rain Forest (TRF); Coastal Savannah (CS)
