Characteristics of the tree-ring chronologies_ N — Number of sampled trees per plot (in parenthesis: total number of dendrochrono-logical samples); Period — time range of the sampled cores; TRW — mean ring-width value; MC — mean correlation between series at each plot; MS — mean sensitivity; EPS — mean Expressed Population Signal, RBAR — average correlation between all series_
| Plot | N | Period | TRW (mm) | MC | MS | EPS | RBAR |

Geographical and hydrological settings of the sampled plots_ EMN — El Mateo near; EMF — El Mateo far_ DRB — plot distance from the riverbank_ GWD — groundwater depth_

Model parameters (explanatory variables), significance (p), slope and adjusted coefficient of determination (R2adj_) for the “optimal model” of each dependent variable_ StrFI — Streamflow; P — Precipitation_ SDJFM referred to the mean streamflow values of September, December, January, February and March months_
