Selected Multivariate Characteristics

Ecoregions will be created that have a similar mixture of the selected multivariate conditions

Different multivariate properties can be selected to address specific problems

This set of 25 environmental properties were selected as generally important

elevation	soil water capacity
maximum annual temperature	frost-free days
mean annual temperature	depth to water table
minimum annual temperature	soil bulk density
12 monthly mean precipitations	depth of mineral soil
soil nitrogen	solar aspect
soil organic matter	mean solar insolation
