Appendix A (TABLE A1). A table showing constituent aquatic and plant litter variables of top linear regression models for predicting amphibian production, in terms of biomass.

Hydro (days) |
Phenol (mg/l) |
June temp (°C) |
July DO (%) |
C:N | N:P | C:P | |
| Biomass | 38.09 | 1.78 | 1.86 | 8.92 | 0.75 | 3.60 | 1.70 |
Notes: ΔAIC refer to difference in AIC value between the top model and the top model less the focal variable. Larger ΔAIC indicates greater relative importance of that variable in the top model. Variable abbreviations include Hydro = hydroperiod, June temp. = mean June water temperature, July temp. = mean July water temperature, July DO = mean July dissolved oxygen, Phenol = soluble phenolic concentrations, and Litter = mean litter biomass.
