Global map of modeled initial decomposition rates as described in Sarneel et al., (xxxx) Reading tea leaves worldwide: decoupled drivers of initial litter decomposition mass-loss rate and stabilization. Ecology letters META INFORMATION TBI_S-xxx.tiff are separate pieces of the maps. all maps are tiled and contain 8 bands (starting with “S”), they are orderd according the list below: S_Ensemble_mean > prediction mean from 10 ensemble models S_Bootstrapped_mean > bootstrapped mean from 100 bootstrap samples, using best performing model from cross-validation S_Bootstrapped_lower > lower 2.5% confidence interval from 100 bootstrap samples S_Bootstrapped_upper > upper 97.5% confidence interval from 100 bootstrap samples S_Bootstrapped_stdDev > standard deviation from 100 bootstrap samples S_Bootstrapped_coefOfVar > coefficient of variation (std dev / mean) from 100 bootstrap samples univariate_pct_int_ext > proportion of interpolation in univariate space PCA_pct_int_ext > proportion of interpolation in bivariate combinations for PCA-transformed axes- feature importances
