I am using randomForest() function from package randomForest. I am trying the understand the output given by the function varImp() of package caret. For few variables it is showing negative values. What does negative value indicate?

Below is the output:

           Overall
Year        6.7712260
Month      -2.6684553
DOW         2.2681865
City.Group -0.3534247
Type        1.4049568
P1          8.5207072
P2          6.0449333
P3          5.3579060
P4          4.1441309
P5          5.9207454
P6          7.3744485
P7          3.6858546

Thanks in advance!!.
