Which correlation coefficient must be used to test correlation between count data, percentage data (canopy cover) and Range data (0-low to 4-V.High) ?
Using N=178, and a power of 0.8 (beta), with the function 'pwr.r.test' in R (http://www.r-project.org), I get:
r=0.208 for alpha = 0.05
r=0.253 for alpha = 0.01
r=0.303 for alpha = 0.001

Note for a correlation df = N -2 as far as I can remember. So the N should be 179. Why you would like to do such a calculation eludes me though.. You can also back calculate from the t distribution.
For the formula google or see: http://vassarstats.net/rsig.html
You can also use critical values tables such as ...
