Summary of students' t-test results comparing mean soil Cd values between the two sampling locations.

Table 3: Summary of students' t-test results comparing mean soil Cd values between the two sampling locations.

Sampling Depth (cm)	Compared Locations	Difference between the means^a	Percentage Equivalence^b	Calculated T-value^c	Critical T-value^d	Significance of the Difference
0-15	Dakace Vs. Jushi	0.00513	110.09	0.323	0.687	NS
20-30	Dakace Vs. Jushi	0.001	101.94	0.214	0.687	NS
40-50	Dakace Vs. Jushi	-0.00363	93.19	0.203	0.687	NS

Note: aNegative difference between the compared mean values means that the first compared value is less than the second, while the positive difference indicates otherwise; bMean for the first compared value divided the mean for the second value multiplied by 100; cCalculated value of 't' determined using students' t-test; dValue of 't' determined from students' t-test table; S = The difference between the compared means is statistically significant at 0.05 probability level and NS = The difference between the compared means is statistically significant at 0.05 probability level.
