Appendix C. Climate variable parameters in climate envelope models.
TABLE C1. Climate parameters used to develop climate envelope models. Native range models are based on data from Europe and invaded range models based on data from the contiguous United States. Numbers indicate the extreme values for each variable among locations where the species occur after removing the 5% most extreme values (2.5% at each extreme). Min. indicates that the lower extreme was used (all three variables); Max. indicates that the upper extreme was also used (Mean July temperature).
