Modeling the Effects of Land-Cover Change on Rainfall-Runoff Relationships in a Semiarid, Eastern Mediterranean Watershed

Table 7

Geographically weighted regression (GWR) results for runoff volume as the dependent variable and the digital elevation model (DEM), land-cover classes, and the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) as explanatory variables. The bold highlighted values are the highest results for each subbasin.
