Regression analyses between kelp cover and physical variables measured <i>in situ</i> at transects in Henderson, East Australia.^#

<p>^# The proportion of the variability explained by all variables combined was obtained in sequential tests using R² selection criterion and Forward selection procedure. The overall best solution was obtained using the Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC), using all possible combinations of variables. <i>P</i>-values were calculated using 9,999 permutations. Variables salinity and depth were excluded from the model as these were strongly correlated with temperature (|r|>0.95).</p><p>Regression analyses between kelp cover and physical variables measured <i>in situ</i> at transects in Henderson, East Australia.<a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0118390#t005fn001" target="_blank">^#</a>
