Table 6. Total distance traveled by model moose while traveling during the summer period according to five different modeling scenarios. Modeling scenarios differed from each other with respect to the degree of salt pool removal and the creation of compensatory salt pools. We conducted 100 runs per scenario. The “Change” value means change compared to the current situation.
