Table 3.

Model evaluation statistics for calibrated grassland types. Statistics are standard regression parameters [slope, offset and coefficient of determination (R2)], Nash–Sutcliffe efficiency (NSE), percent BIAS (PBIAS), root mean square error (RMSE) and RMSE observations standard deviation ratio (RSR). Model performance was classified according to Moriasi et al. (2007) (+++ very good, ++ good, + satisfactory, − unsatisfactory) using NSE and RSR.
