Note: The difference in height of vegetation characteristics (Sclerolaena, Chenopod, Native grasses, native forbs, invasive forbs and dead vegetation) between used and available habitat was ranked against the null model. In all instances besides native grasses, the difference between used and available habitat was preferred over the null model. Order of the explanatory variable is used to identify which model is supported. ΔAIC is the difference in AICc from the minimum AICc model. The term ‘Chenopod’ was used to refer to all species in the family Chenopodiaceae, except the genus ‘Sclerolaena’ which was analysed separately.
