Extended Data Fig. 10: Biomass-based resistance and resilience in Amazon forests.

a, The spatial pattern of mean resistance derived from the measured above ground biomass in trees for 5 plots in DS drought in tropical South America, derived from Brienen et al., 2015 (ref ^84,85). b, The spatial pattern of mean resistance derived from the measured aboveground biomass in trees for 18 plots in WS drought in tropical South America. c, The spatial pattern of mean resistance derived from the measured aboveground biomass in trees for 15 plots in DS+WS drought in tropical South America. (d-f) The same analysis as (a-c) but for biomass-based resilience in (d) DS, (e) WS, and (f) DS+WS drought. g, Mean ln-transformed resistance (ln(Rt)) for plots that experienced DS, WS, and DS+WS droughts in tropical South America. (h) Mean ln-transformed resilience (ln(Rs)) for plots experienced DS, WS, and DS+WS droughts in tropical South America. Boxplots in (g) and (h) show the median (horizontal lines), mean (triangle), 25th, 40th, 60th, and 75th percentiles (i.e. Q0.25, Q0.4, Q0.6, Q0.75; boxes), and maximum and minimum values (i.e. Max and Min; the top and bottom of the whiskers). Significant differences (p < 0.05) among DS, WS, and DS+WS droughts are denoted by different letters for multiple comparisons. The numbers in the bottom of the panels in (g) and (h) represent the magnitude of plots that experienced DS, WS, and DS+WS droughts, respectively.
