Model selection analysis relating species richness of birds that prefer moderate grazing to habitat; constant model (Null), Fire (2 levels), Grazing (3 levels), Fire + Grazing, Grass cover, grass height, Dead grass and Grass cover + Grass height.

The models were generalised linear mixed models assuming a Poisson response and log link function. Transect was treated as a random effect in all models. K is the number of parameters in a model, Delta AIC is the differences in AICs.
