a negative trendp = 0.049actually significant

Mulch showed a negative trend with beetle activity density, with a significant reduction observed for mulch cover class 3 (MUL3: β = −0.325, p = 0.049) and a marginally significant effect for class 6 (MUL6: β = −0.537, p = 0.06).

marginally significantp = 0.06so close (0.05 < p ≤ 0.1)

In that model, irrigation did not clearly impact beetle richness ( β = 0.48, p = 0.60) and bulk density had only a marginally significant negative effect on beetle richness ( β = −0.08, p = 0.06).
