Partial dependency plots for the final Sierra region (n = 203) of the response form of O/E (y-axis = fitted function of O/E₅₀) based on the effect of individual explanatory variables with the response of all other variables removed. Variables are shown in order of model importance: a slope; b average precipitation (PPT); c average temperature (Temp); d total density of paved roads at watershed scale (rDDENSC12_WS); and e percent new urban at 5 km scale (NewUrb_5km). The top tick marks of each plot indicate deciles of the predictor variable
