Table 1. Variables used in habitat capability indices of focal species, Oregon Coast Range. Maximum is the value or range of the variable at which the index score is set equal to 1. The correlation values represent the rank order correlation between each variable data set and the HCI data set. Rank is assigned by ordering the data from lowest to highest. Details of each model are given in Appendix A for the Pacific Fisher, in Appendix B for the Pileated Woodpecker and in Appendix C for the Warbling Vireo. †QMD = quadratic mean diameter, i.e., diameter of the tree with the
average basal area, ‡Distance around focal pixel that is evaluated
for landscape effects (see Appendices for details).
