Pearson correlation coefficients between weather metrics, fat content and FAs. p Values used the “Holm” adjustment for multiple comparisons. Correlations are between the moving averages of the weather metrics and fatty acids. Lags are in terms of number of months prior to pod harvest, where E.g., Average temperature at lag = 0 is the average weather metrics for the current month vs the fat content and the FAs for the month of harvest, and lag = 4 is the average temperature of the 4 months prior to the current month of harvest. p Values are represented by asterisks (p < 0.0001 (***), p < 0.001 (**), p < 0.05 (*). p Values used the “Holm” adjustment for multiple comparisons.
