Table 1.

Variable importance from GAMMs.

Variable	Importance
SOI	0.999
Mean minimum temperature	0.401
Highest temperature	0.302
Mean maximum temperature	0.198
Lowest temperature	0.183
Highest minimum temperature	0.104
Lowest maximum temperature	0.097
Total precipitation	0.095

SOI and Mean Minimum temperature had highest importance, indicating they are the most strongly correlated to mangrove change at Mangrove Bay.
