Table C1. Variance decomposition analysis for the TRM function. The proportions (%) of variance explained by the variables of the TRM function are listed for the data set used by Bigler and Bugmann (2004) at Davos (observed) and for simulation results by the ForClim version TRM_randNr (simulated) for the three climate scenarios at Scatlè.
