Fig. 2: Relationship of seed rain and potential of biomass restoration with landscape variables.

a,b, The number of seeds deposited in open areas per landscape as a function of forest cover (percentage of forest cells) (a) and isolation of forest (distance in metres to the nearest forest patch averaged across cells) (b). c,d, The same relationships were tested for potential AGB derived from the seed rain generated by birds (in Mg per landscape). Each point depicts a result of the ten simulations performed per landscape scenario, where the same x-axis value indicates a unique landscape of the ten tested. The lines represent fitted mean tendency, and the shaded areas indicate 95% confidence intervals. The vertical dashed lines depict inflection points in the responses.
