  1. The multiple linear regression results were based on the following formulas for the response variables: Rc = −0.00829 × MAT + 0.00037 × MAP + 0.0995 (R2 = 0.5445, P < 0.001); TSSC = −0.2774 × MAP + 20.06 × RSCI + 0.02 × RD + 34.27 × S - 46.18 × Vc + 1612 (R2 = 0.4025, P < 0.001); TSSL = −0.8753 × RSCI + 0.3294 × RD - 0.2555 × MAP + 5.4893 × MAT - 3.0994 × Vc + 323.9 (R2 = 0.3205, P < 0.001); and TOCL = 0.022 × RSCI + 0.324 × Vc + 0.462 × S - 0.0023 × RD - 9 (R2 = 0.6782, P = 0.0056).
