Correlations between environmental variables used in the CVA analysis and the first two taxon ordination axes.

Bio6 = minimum temperature of the coldest month; Bio12 = annual precipitation; Bio15 = rainfall seasonality (coefficient of variation); Green-up = day of the year of the onset of green-up; QScatMean = surface moisture (QSCAT); QScatsd = QSCAT standard deviation. See Table 1 and Materials and Methods for a full description of the environmental variables.
