Fig. 2: Variation in aboveground carbon accumulation across global monoculture plantations.

Variation in growth rates (a, b) and asymptotic growth limits (c, d) of global timber and wood fiber plantations. The locations of timber and wood fiber plantations are taken from the Spatial Database of Planted Trees63. Genus level growth rates and limits are shown preferentially over those for plant functional type. Plantations with unknown species or plant functional type composition are colored dark grey. Countries in light grey did not have information on spatial location of plantations due to a lack of data collection or the absence of plantations. The points in b and d are the estimated model parameter values, and the standard errors of the model parameters are shown as error bars. The number of observations associated with the model parameters and standard errors vary by plant functional type and genus and are given in Figs. 2 and 3.
