a Effect of MAT1960−2000 on maximum stand stocking per ha. Mean model predictions from Eq. (1) are shown at 9.5 °C (blue line) and 12.5 °C (red line), representing the approximate temperature range in our dataset and demonstrating the expected impact of a 3 °C warming on maximum stocking. Data points are colored by whether their MAT1960−2000 is below (blue) or above (red) the dataset’s mean temperature of 11 °C. b Effect of MAT1960−2000 on maximum stand stocking at D = 25cm (i.e., stand density index) showing a 9% decrease in carrying capacity for each additional °C increase in temperature. Each dot represents one plot measurement. The shaded areas show 95% credible intervals.
