  1. Three measures of variation as indications of within-region homogeneity for the 14 Dynamic Habitat Index (DHI) clusters and the Olson et al.6 biomes: coefficient of variation (CV), interquartile range divided by the median (IQR-CV), and the second L-moment divided by the first L-moment (L-CV). Values are the mean value of each measure across all regions within each regionalisation, respectively. Note that individual DHI variables are not shown for the DHI clusters since they were used to derive the clusters.
