Table 2.

Parameters defining the climate and environmental profile by median, minimum and maximum values. Temperatures bio1, bio2, bio4, bio7, and bio9 are given in °C, relative humidity bio20 is given in %, fractions of land classifications in each grid cell gc14, gc20, gc30, gc120, and gc200 are dimensionless and the altitude alt is given in meters above sea level
