near-significantp < 0.10
Only three bivariate linear models yielded near-significant ( p < 0.10) relationships with number of trees, and these models still yielded significance with these predictors: mean distance to nearest town ( p = 0.006; R 2 = 0.523), distance to nearest trail ( p = 0.014; R 2 = 0.476), and mean wind speed ( p = 0.006; R 2 = 0.517).
