  1. ME is the Mean Error (Mg ha−1), RMSE is the Root Mean Square Error (Mg ha−1), MAE is the Mean Absolute Error (Mg ha−1), MPE is the Mean Percentage Error (%), MAPE is the Mean Absolute Percentage Error (%), MASE is the Mean Absolute Scaled Error and ACF1 is the autocorrelation of errors at lag 1. Values are estimated from bootstrap (10,000 permutations).
