AIC, Akaike Information Criterion; lag_yrs, time since conservation unit established (years); loghpd_uc, logarithm of human population density estimated within the conservation unit; loghpd_buf, logarithm of human population density estimated in area surrounding the conservation unit; log_uc_dryarea, logarithm of the dry area of the conservation unit; logpib, logarithm of the weighted mean GDP of the area covered by the conservation unit; Categ2[EPA, etc.], analysis categories for the conservation units.
