Weighting schemes used for the six model variants. Each data point (representing a raster cell) was potentially weighted by cell area and/or land cover. L stands for long‐lat, M for the equal‐area Mollweide projection, A for area and L for land cover

Projection	Cell area	Land cover	Abbreviation
long‐lat	as is	as is	L
long‐lat	weighted	as is	LA
long‐lat	as is	weighted	LL
long‐lat	weighted	weighted	LLA
equal area	as is	as is	M
equal area	as is	weighted	ML
