Fig. 2: Species occupancy range distribution and loss.

From: Regional uniqueness of tree species composition and response to forest loss and climate change

Fig. 2

a Distributions of species occupancy range sizes globally (gray) and constrained to forests (at least 10% tree cover, color) for species in each forest biome. b Boxplot of relative range reduction across species in each forest biome with the center line showing the median, the box limits the quartiles, the whiskers 1.5 times the interquartile range, and the points the outliers. The distributions and boxplots are computed for n = 6810 species for Tropical Moist Broadleaf Forests, n = 588 species for Tropical Coniferous Forests, n = 1101 species for Tropical Dry Broadleaf Forests, n = 54 species for Boreal Forests, n = 1744 species for Temperate Broadleaf Forests, n = 178 species for Temperate Conifer Forests and n = 580 species for Mediterranean Forests. c Global map of median species range size constrained to forests, created with QGIS110. The gray base map corresponds to all areas for which model predictors were available. d Plot of species’ median latitude against range size constrained to forests, colored by point density, where red indicates the highest density. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
