LPJ plant functional type life form and bioclimatic limits.

Plant functional type bioclimatic limits: Tcmin = mean temperature of the coldest month minimum limit; Tcmax = mean temperature of the coldest month maximum limit; (Tw-Tc)min = mean temperature of the warmest month minus mean temperature of the coldest month minimum limit; GDD5min = growing degree days on a 5°C base minimum limit. The bioclimatic limits match those of Sitch et al. [12] except for those modified limits, for which the original values from Sitch et al. [12] are given in parentheses. Limits were modified based on regional species distributions and climate information from Thompson et al. [47,48]. All PFTs have a woody life form with the exception of the two herbaceous PFTs. Herbaceous, as used here, refers to vegetation with non-woody stems and includes grass.LPJ plant functional type life form and bioclimatic limits.
