Table 2 Analysis of variance of the linear model used to predict the minimum annual values of LFMC (10th percentile). Explanatory variables included a drought index (rain/ETP from June to September) computed for each site with the French climate reanalysis at 8-km resolution (SAFRAN, Vidal et al. 2010), the regeneration strategy of the species (seeder or resprouter) and a site effect. Because interactions were not significant, all terms were set additive in this model. The global R2 of the model is 0.51
