Pairwise comparisons of total biomass (g) of trout in summer for forest harvest (FH), climate change (CC), and combined (FH + CC) scenarios compared to baseline in modeled streams, including Gus Creek, Pothole Creek, Rock Creek, and Upper Mainstem (UM). Values of summer biomass by year were averaged for five replicate simulations and were analyzed using Wilcoxon signed rank test (V) with continuity correction resulting in a pseudomedian of difference between scenario and baseline (Δ) for the 1st harvest period, 2nd harvest period, and the entire study period. Scenarios include manipulations of stream temperature and flow regimes (see Methods for details). Significant p-values in bold (alpha ≤ 0.05) represent increasing or decreasing magnitudes in comparison to baseline.
