Table 1 Additional survival probabilities for trees in each forest site under reference climate (central column) and future climate (RCP4.5, right column) in case FR and FDv are high, while FE is low.

  1. Survival odds from partial dependence plots were extracted for high FR, high FDv and low FE (upper and lower 10%-percentiles) separately and summed up based on Supplementary Table S3. Values in brackets correspond to error propagated standard deviations from Supplementary Table S3.
