For strata, the domain shape parameter was estimated at 5.23 with a median size M. curta of 13.06 cm and skewness of 0.40. HUA analysis revealed six positive, eleven neutral, and nine HUA habitats. While much higher than the domain mean, positive strata shape parameter estimates (average = 6.25) were closest to the domain mean with neutral and negative shape k parameter estimates (average = 6.63 and 6.63, respectively) deviating more significantly from k the domain mean (see Table 4 and Figure 7 for for HUA results).
