Fig. 5: Predicted effect of a transient vs. permanent three °C increase in temperature on the self-thinning trajectory.
From: Global warming reduces the carrying capacity of the tallest angiosperm species (Eucalyptus regnans)
a Heatwaves cause a temporary reduction in the self-thinning line. As the conditions ease, the stand recovers its original trajectory. b Climate change might cause a more permanent reduction in the self-thinning line.
