Design of the factorial experiment.

X means that the variant was used to study the respective topic of each row. LSTM = LSTM model using the full depth of the Landsat time series and climate data; LSTMperm = LSTM model but the temporal patterns of both the predictive and the target variables were randomly permuted while instantaneous relationships between predictive and target variables were kept; LSTMmsc = LSTM model but the Landsat time series for each band were replaced by their mean seasonal cycle, while using the actual values of air temperature (Tair), precipitation (P), global radiation (Rg), and vapor pressure deficit (VPD); LSTMannual = LSTM model but the Landsat time series for each band were replaced by their annual mean, while using the actual values of Tair, P, Rg, and VPD, RF = Random Forest model using the actual values of the Landsat time series and climate data.
