Hi Gregoire, Spatial components or regionalized factors are mathematical constructs that might help interpreting complex spatial patterns and investigate scale-dependent correlations between physical attributes. I wouldn't try to assign a physical meaning to the value of those components or factors, hence I never bother attempting to backtransform them.

Thank you for any hint on this matter.
