Notes: AIC indicates the Akaike information criterion for each model. AIC is minimized by the best model, which is presented in bold. The following covariates were considered: Landsat 8-based temperature (LST); Landsat 8-based NDVI (LNDVI); Landsat 8-based EVI (LEVI); Sentinel 2-based NDVI (SNDVI); Sentinel 2-based EVI (SEVI); and also the SD and kurtosis of each of those variables which are indicated by adding, respectively, SD or K as suffix to the environmental variables.
