Fig. 1: Aboveground biomass (Mg ha−1) and its response to nutrient additions over tropical forest secondary succession (years post disturbance).
From: Tropical forest carbon sequestration accelerated by nitrogen
Different treatments are represented by different colors. Black lines represent the control treatment (C, no nutrient addition); blue lines, the nitrogen addition treatment (N); red lines, the phosphorus addition treatment (P); green lines, the nitrogen plus phosphorus treatment (NP). Thin lines represent the aboveground biomass in each plot across censuses, and thick lines represent the mean of each treatment, fitted with a loess fit. The lines in the inset panel, which zoom in on the aboveground biomass in the 0-year-old forest, include 95% confidence intervals fitted using the ‘loess’ method. Five replicates were present per forest age and treatment in secondary forests, except for the first census of both 10- and 30-year-old forests, where there were only four replicates. The mature forests have four replicate plots per census.
