Suitability is expressed as the proportion of plant species of a growth form for which the climate of the cells is suitable according to an ecophysiological plant growth model. The median number of modelled species per growth form was 5,249, with a minimum of 439 (needleleaf trees) and a maximum of 24,853 (evergreen shrubs) species. The total number of modelled species was 135,153.
