  1. Mean_temp: annual mean temperature, AM: De Martonne aridity index (P/(T + 10)), ATH: Thornthwaite aridity index (yearly sum of monthly ratios (P/E)), WAI0: cumulated water availability index for the months with WAI > 0, mean for the years 1961-1990, Bold values represent significant correlations. Significance levels: * P<0.01, ** P<0.001, *** P<0.0001.
