Fig. 4: Relative size of trees that died during a mortality event.
From: Global warming reduces the carrying capacity of the tallest angiosperm species (Eucalyptus regnans)
Each dot represents the quadratic mean diameter of dead trees at the end of a measurement period vs. quadratic mean diameter (of live trees) at the beginning of the period. The figure only includes mortality events that had more than three dead trees recorded to reduce dispersion. The solid black line represents the 1:1 line (i.e., the DBH of dead trees at the end of a measurement period equals the DBH of live trees at the beginning of the period). For visualization purposes, plots were colored according to their MAT1960−2000 whether they fall above or below 11°C. The red and blue lines show mean predictions from linear regression fits to the data. The slope equals 0.62. The shaded areas show 95% CI. We found no significant effect of temperature, precipitation, AHMI, or date on the relative size of dead trees (see Supplementary Table 4).
