Factor analysis showed that only a few factors or variables were needed to explain relations between variables in the observed set. Key cover factors were area in debris; turbulent water; vegetation in and over stream; and overhanging banks.  Resolutions obtained were used to explore relationships between standing crop of trout and age of fish.</style></abstract><accession-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">LTER.1981-81195</style></accession-num></record></records></xml>
