The fluctuations due to the clustering of color sources can explain the behaviour of the scaled multiplicity variance and transverse momentum fluctuations with centrality. They also predict a nonmonotonic behaviour with centrality for the multiplicity associated to high-pT events. The clustering of color sources gives rise to an increase in the long-range correlations with centrality as well as to a supression at high centrality with respect to superposition models.
