Extended Data Fig. 4: Effect of disturbance intensity on carbon accumulation.
From: Mapping carbon accumulation potential from global natural forest regrowth
Carbon accumulation in plots with high intensity disturbance (black circles, black line) versus low intensity disturbance (grey circles, grey line). The most disturbed categories had lower residual biomass at the initiation of regrowth (for example, 0 Mg C ha−1 versus 28 Mg C ha−1 in the least disturbed category; Welch’s t-value = 5.9, P < 0.0001), suggesting that the higher rate in the most disturbed category is due to standard sigmoidal growth rates in forests.
