Hypothesis

Resource density is positively correlated with type of tenure system.

Note

Within the independent variable 'resource density' there were subvariables tested (effective temperature, net primary production, net above ground productivity, log primary biomass, log secondary biomass, annual rainfall (mm) and terrestrial model population density). All of the p values reported below are in that order. None were significant.
