Notes: Here, we present the three significant (P < 0.001) environmental variables with the highest correlation coefficient. The significance of the correlation was tested by 1999 permutations. For a complete result of all variables, please refer to Data S13. The direction of changes is included in Appendix S1: Fig. S23.
