Comparison of relative performance of the Area Under the Curve (AUC) between traditional (climate and land-cover)-based and satellite-derived Ecosystem Functional Attribute (EFA)-based models across all scale combinations and test species.

<p>Performance of individual models (boxplots) showing the AUC_median, two hinges (first and third quartiles), and two whiskers of each model filtered at AUC≥0.7 (empty-triangle signs represent the AUC_mean). Filled-circle dots and crosses represent the AUC_median and the TSS_median, respectively, of the ensemble models. Different letters indicate significant differences among models (multiple comparisons of means were performed using Tukey's test at the 0.05 significance level).
