Extended Data Fig. 8: Differences in AGC stocks in AfriMont plots located in montane forests with and without elephants.
From: High aboveground carbon stock of African tropical montane forests
a, Differences across all plots. AGC stocks are statistically significantly lower in forests with elephants (t-test, t = 3.5, d.f. = 83.5, P = 0.001). The thick line shows the median, and boxes cover the interquartile range (IQR). Values >1.5 times IQR away from the IQR are shown by points. b, Differences in countries where elephants are present in at least one of the montane sites studied. The black squares show means in each country in forests with or without elephants and the solid lines denote statistically significant differences (t-tests, P < 0.05). Elephant presence in 2019 was estimated by the co-authors (Supplementary Table 5).
