Table 3. Nash-Sutcliffe modeling efficiency of the LSTM setup per vegetation type and climate region from the ensemble mean ±sd estimate of the 50 runs.

Statistics for the anomalies were not calculated in the arid and tropical climate (i.e. NA) because there was no site with at least 3 years of complete data after data quality control. Savanna vegetation type includes both savanna and woody savanna sites.
