A “*” in the covariate columns indicates whether the variable was included in the model. K is the number of variables included in the model. Note that Potential Evapotranspiration and Agriculture include both main and quadratic effects (thus accounting for two parameters for each of these variables). Only the top 10 models are reported. See Supplementary Table S4 for AICc model selection results of all possible variable combinations.
