PCA biplot for the modern distribution of Podocarpus lambertii and Araucaria angustifolia in relation to mean values of total annual precipitation, performed by PAST 3.21 (a). Boxplots of each annual total precipitation value representing number of years (2000–2015) for Podocarpus lambertii (1520 ± 220 mm) (b) and Araucaria angustifolia (1680 ± 180 mm) (c). Scatter plot of Total Annual Precipitation (mm) vs. Latitude (°) of modern distribution for Podocarpus lambertii and Araucaria angustifolia, respectively (d,e). Precipitation data were based on hourly rainfall estimates with CMORPH between 2000 and 2015, corrected by the Brazilian meteorological station network. R-scripts were generated to produce boxplots and the scatter plot.
