Table 4

Spearman correlation coefficients between water quality (WQ) and in-stream habitat structure (HS) variables and their indexes (left), and between water quality and riparian condition (RC) variables and their indexes (right). Only high (rho≥ 0.7) and significant (p value< 0.05) correlations are shown. Variable codes as Table 1, 2 and 3.
