Fig. 5: Significant decreases in forest disturbance rate due to the implementation of China’s National Forest Protection Program (NFPP) in 1999.

From: Forest disturbance decreased in China from 1986 to 2020 despite regional variations

Fig. 5

a, b showed the spatial distribution of percent of disturbed forest annually (% yr−1) within each 0.5° grid cell before (a, 1986–1999) and after (b, 2000–2020) NFPP. c–e showed the histogram distribution of percent of disturbed forest annually (% yr−1) before (blue) and after (red) NFPP at national (c), within the NFPP region (d), and outside the NFPP region (e). Blue lines in a and b indicated the NFPP boundary (also see Supplementary Fig. 8a).
