basis: a two-component WA partial-least-squares (WA-PLS) model employing a large northern North American training set, comprising 434 sites representing a July air temperature gradient from 2.0 to 16.3 °C and spanning from Alaska, USA, to eastern Canada and from Boreal to High Arctic environments, including the Canadian Arctic islands (Fortin et al. 2015; 78 taxa, r2boot = 0.72, RMSEP = 1.9 °C).
