The final dataset consists of two matrices, one for 232 ecoregions and one for 62 ecoprovinces. For each matrix, the ecoregions or ecoprovinces are listed in the same order in both rows and columns. Environmental distance values between each pair of ecoregions or ecoprovinces can be found at the intersection of row and column for the members of the pair. For some ecoregions, no temperature and/or salinity data were available in the World Ocean Atlas. Data gaps in the ecoregions matrix are indicated with NA.
