Appendix H. Chi-square values from regression analysis to determine the ability of habitat values and road density to predict moose pellet presence on transects (Snaith et al. 2004). (SI1 = forage, SI1m = forage areas located within 200 m of cover, SI2 = softwood cover, SI3 = mixedwood cover, and SI4 = wetlands).
