Extended Data Fig. 3: Plot-level tree mortality trends across four major forest biomes in Australia.
From: Pervasive increase in tree mortality across the Australian continent
Annual change in mortality rate for individual plots in a, tropical savanna; b, tropical rainforest; c, warm temperate forest; and d, cool temperate forest. Analyses include only plots with ≥3 censuses (sample sizes: 158 of 198, 24 of 25, 895 of 1,168, and 822 of 1,333, respectively). Random-slope models were fitted to estimate within-plot changes through time, and the annual change in mortality rate was approximated as exp(β) − 1, where β is the year coefficient (see Supplementary Methods 1). Plots with β values outside the range -0.5 to 2 were excluded to avoid extreme fits.
