Extended Data Fig. 6: Relationship between lightning tolerance and lightning damage frequency.
From: Tropical tree species differ in damage and mortality from lightning
Fig. 3 from main text showing species names for: (a) Mortality model residuals (species with n ≥ 8 individuals) compared with mean damage frequencies projected by the lightning risk model7 by species. The linear regression was weighted by the mortality sample size for each species. Shading indicates the standard error of the mean (R2 = 0.19, F1,24 = 5.78, p = 0.02). When palms (SOCREX, OENOMA, and AST1ST) are removed, this relationship disappears (R2 = 0.10, F1,21 = 2.28, p = 0.15). (b) Residuals from damage and mortality models (for species with n ≥ 8 individuals in the dataset) with DBH removed from both models to capture the full species effect including size differences. The linear regression was weighted by sample size. Shading represents the standard error of the mean (R2 = 0.27, F1,24 = 7.11, p = 0.01). This relationship also disappears when palms are removed (R2 = 0.09, F1,18 = 1.76, p = 0.20). See Extended Data Fig. 2 caption for species codes.
