From: A synthesis and future research directions for tropical mountain ecosystem restoration
Steady increase in TME studies since the 1990s with a focus on Latin-America and forested mountain ecosystems. (a) Location of studies in the different mountain ecosystems in relation to the tropical mountain ranges. Mountain shapefile data from Global Mountain Biodiversity Assessment43, base map from R package ‘maptools’44 http://CRAN.R-project.org/package=maptools). (b) Ecosystem type pie charts for each geographic region scaled in descending order of total number of studies (number in middle of each pie chart). Pantropical refers to studies carried out in multiple geographic regions, c) Number of studies over time for each ecosystem. All figures were generated in R studio version 3.6.245 and using the package ‘ggplot2’46.
