Table 2

values of the linear regression analyses for the voxel sizes 90  m and 250  m relative to the reference voxel size (10  m). Significant linear correlations ( ) are highlighted in bold. In parenthesis: slope ratios obtained from the linear regressions of a given graph in Figure 5 or Figure 6 and the corresponding graph in Figure 3.
