Extended Data Fig. 2: The distribution of temperature novelty across undisturbed and degraded tropical forests.
From: Novel temperatures are already widespread beneath the world’s tropical forest canopies
Box plots of the distribution of temperature novelty scores in tropical forest across Africa (AFR, n = 80,599), Central and South America (CSA, n = 208,002), and Southeast Asia and Australia (SEAA, n = 85,596) for: isothermality, maximum temperature of the warmest month, minimum temperature of the coldest month, and annual range of temperature. Climate novelty values are separated into three distinct forest classifications: undisturbed tropical forest outside ecologically unfragmented areas, undisturbed tropical forest within ecologically unfragmented areas (defined by wilderness areas22), and degraded tropical forest only. The horizontal line within the box plot displays the median of the data, the box limits refer to the interquartile range (IQR), and the whiskers extend to the minimum and maximum values. The data points falling outside the whiskers are outliers.
