Robustness
The following is from Fulton et al 2004a -
...
Figure 1: Transect of E1 (roughness) along Loch Gareloch for the treated (trawled) areas (dashed line) and reference areas (solid line). The relative difference in roughness between the treatment and reference areas increased during the experimental trawling program (After Tuck et al. 1998). (Figure provided by Fulton et al 2004a).
