  1. Per 1° grid cell. The partition results in the four fractions: mixed spatial-environmental (RMX), pure spatial (RPS), pure environmental (RPE), and unexplained (RUN). The variation partitioning was based on regressions against the combinations of distance matrices giving the best model for each data set (See table 2).
