From: Future tree survival in European forests depends on understorey tree diversity
Summarizing scheme of the study design for different sites and climate scenarios. 1: LPJmL-FIT simulating individual trees applied to four European natural forests from year 2000 to 2099 under reference climate and future climate scenarios (here two exemplary snapshots from model output visualizations of Fig. 3—Supplementary Video 1). 2: Obtain data on tree survival from simulated tree community and on individual functional traits. 3: Initial forest conditions are used to predict tree survival probability through a random forest algorithm. 4: Variable importance and partial dependence plots are extracted from the random forest models for each variable and visualized in bar plots and line charts. A detailed description of the workflow can be found in Methods.
