Fig. 2: Temperature offset change due to forest loss in montane forests in Africa.

From: Deforestation reduces microclimate buffering of African montane forests

Fig. 2

Panels (a–c) show the probability density graphs of the temperature offset (Toffset) between microclimate (Tmicro) and mesoclimate (Tmeso) (i.e., Toffset  =  Tmicro  – Tmeso) in 2003 (before forest loss) and 2022 (after forest loss) and the changes in Toffset caused by forest loss between the two years (ΔToffset = Toffset(2022) – Toffset(2003)) in Mount Bale (Ethiopia), Mount Kilimanjaro (Tanzania), and the Taita Hills (Kenya) respectively.
