Fig. 2
Time-series data for woody cover and select environmental covariates averaged over Africa. Solid lines represent the mean values and linear trend lines are indicated with dashes. Using 0.5° grid cells as replicates (n = 6255), 95% confidence interval ribbons have been included in a, c and e. The slope of the trend line and p-value of the linear regression are displayed for each plot. Herbivore density and burned area have been hind- and forecast using methods outlined in the supplement. Solid lines for rainfall (d) and temperature (f) indicate inter-annual trends once seasonality has been removed, whereas this is not the case for CO2 (b). Inflection points for lines in a and c are plotted at the median timepoint for each epoch
