Table 3. Relative contribution of each environmental variable (contributions larger than 1%) to the Maxent model.

Variable	Percent contribution	Permutation importance
Percentage of bare soil	44.9	13.7
Percentage urban	13.5	8
Water distribution	11.6	19.1
Nbrt_temp	5.7	1.1
Percentage for pasture	5.2	11
Indec_percentage water	4.7	4.1
Bare soil distribution	4.3	4
Urban distribution	1.7	2.7
Hot points distributions	1.3	6.6
Percentage of low vegetation	1.2	3.9
Swir SPOT	1	0

Percent contribution: in each iteration of the training algorithm, the increase in regularized gain is added to the contribution of the corresponding variable. Permutation importance: for each environmental variable in turn, the values of that variable on training presence and background data are randomly permuted.
