Fig. 3

a For the entire country; b for a selected 5 × 5 km square near Quinten; c for a selected 5 × 5 km square near Biasca. Colors represent species with the highest weighted observation probability averaged from February to November (as indicated in the legend at the figure bottom). We compared observation probabilities of 37 tree species, as distinguished by the Swiss forest vegetation database40, and masked pixels with land cover classes without trees (see methods). Light blue gray represents Picea abies; chalky represents Fagus sylvatica; red represents Pinus sylvestris; lime green represents Larix decidua; pea green represents Pinus cembra; dark blue represents Abies alba; orcid pink represents Castanea sativa; dark orange represents Pinus mugo; amethyst purple represents Fraxinus excelsior; topaz blue represents Quercus pubescens; light orange represents Alnus incana; light green represents Quercus petraea; powder pink represents Ostrya carpinifolia; light salmon pink represents Quercus robur; morning glory blue represents Acer pseudoplatanus; and wisteria purple represents other species. Maps were created using the open-source R software (see methods).
