Distributions of partial variable importance scores for each climatic and topographic variable (ordered by medians). Precipitation metrics, both absolute and variability, are generally more important than temperature; topography is relatively unimportant. Colors are broad groupings of drivers for discussion. Vertical lines are 25th, median, and 75th percentiles respectively. “Q” in the variable names refers to quarter of the year, e.g., PrecipColdestQ is the precipitation of the coldest quarter of the year.
