Results of single terms regressions showing the relationships of response variables to predictors, subsequently used as covariates in the minimum adequate models (MAM) comparing Czech Republic reserves and military training areas.

AIC-Akaike information criterion; b – the darts indicate directions of the relationships, ↑standing for increasing, ↓ for decreasing, ↑↓ for polynomial trends with darts indicating the fitted functions directions. Upper-case P indicates a situation when polynomial performed better than linear trend, but still did not improve the model. Similarly, Upper-case L indicates a situation when log10-transformed predictor performed better than untransformed predictor, but still did not improve the model.The predictors were: Area, Latitude (Lat), Longitude (Long), Altitude (Alt), Altitude range (ARange) and Phytogeography region (Veg; a ranked variable, from coldest to warmest region of the country).
