| Summary: | Habitat parameters tested include: Salmon = summed chum and pink salmon biomass per stream (kg), high-nutrient shrubs = percent salmonberry and stink currant shrub cover, other shrubs = percent cover of shrubs blueberry, false azalea, and salal, conifer cover = percent cover of small conifer trees, shrub diversity = Shannon diversity index of all shrub species, hemlock = western hemlock stand basal area (m 2 ha -1 ), redcedar = western redcedar stand basal area (m 2 ha -1 ), alder = red alder stand basal area (m 2 ha -1 ), spruce = Sitka spruce stand basal area (m 2 ha -1 ), tree diversity = Shannon diversity index of all tree species, logs and stumps = percent cover of all large woody debris. Year (fixed effect) and stream (random effect) were included as variables in all models but are excluded in the table for clarity. K = number of parameters in model, ΔAIC = difference between the model AIC and the top model AIC, w i = model AIC weights, ER = evidence ratio. (PDF)
