Details of areas exhibiting ecoregional- or topography-based trends in P R (y) and L r (y). For clarity, only stations appearing in the top quartile (all have ΔP R (y) > 0) and bottom quartile (all have ΔP R (y) < 0) are shown. Level III North American ecoregions (abbrev. III-Ecoregion Number) are color blocked, and specific ecoregions are identified by the number35. Regional- or ecoregion-based averages are displayed next to each subfigure, depending on the area of interest described in the text. (a) Pacific Northwest, specifically Willamette Valley (III-7.1.9). (b) Western Ozarks (III-8.4.5). (c) Southeastern United States, specifically the Southeastern Plains (III-8.3.5) and Southern Coastal Plains (III-8.5.3) ecoregions. (d) American Northeast/Canadian Southeast. (e) Great Lakes and surrounding areas. [Map produced with software ArcMap v. 10.4.1, http://desktop.arcgis.com/en/arcmap/].
