Lithium equivalent widths (EWs) as a function of the T_eff for the candidate members of Carina Nebula, NGC 2264, NGC 6530, and Rho Ophiuchi. The red symbols identify the UVES targets. Most of the Li detections in UVES spectra have uncertainties associated to their EWs smaller than the data points. The Giraffe targets are represented by the blue symbols. The solid line, that in the range between 3800 and 6200 K corresponds to the upper-envelope of the Pleiades distribution (yellow stars), denotes the boundary between the locus of the cluster members (above the line) and contaminants (below the line). The dotted lines delimit the temperature range considered for the membership analysis based on Li.
