% For calculating evaporation recycling ratios:
evapTrackRatioMYrsAmazonFor = evapTrackMYrsAmazonFor./evapMYrs;
evapTrackRatioMYrsCongoFor = evapTrackMYrsCongoFor./evapMYrs;
% The forest regions are:
regionAm = amSource + amazonHotspot; %Rainforest in South America
regionCo = coSource + congoHotspot; %Rainforest in Africa
