Fig. 3
Boxplots representing the seasonal LFMC of some of the species with more observations. The number of observations used to compute each box has been added. The range of dates used to identify each season was defined using the astronomical Universal Time-based equinoxes and solstices. For the countries of the northern hemisphere, Spring was considered to be between 20 March and 19 June, Summer between 20 June and 21 September, Autumn between 22 September and 20 December, Winter between 21 December and 19 March; while, in the southern hemisphere, Spring was considered to be between 22 September and 20 December, Summer between 21 December and 19 March, Autumn between 20 March and 19 June, Winter between 20 June and 21 September.
