The samples size is the number of years used for each regression analysis. Species names follow the United States Department of Agriculture Plants Database. Species common to both locations are indicated with an asterisk after the species name. Asterisks that follow R2 values represent significance at the following levels:
= p<0.05,
= p<0.01,
= p<0.001.
