Table 7 Average time series cross-correlations between focus regions (upper sub-table) with the indication of the environmental parameters on which the cross-correlations were significantly direct (+) or inverse (−) (lower table). Text style indicates overall significant direct (italics) or inverse (bold) correlations.
