Extended Data Figure 2: AGB recovery after 20 years in relation to abiotic factors, forest cover, and land use.

a, Rainfall seasonality; b, CEC; c, percentage forest cover in the surrounding matrix; d, previous land use (SC, N = 19; SC & PA, N = 9; PA, N = 15; means ± s.e.m. are shown). For rainfall seasonality, the regression line is shown based upon the multiple regression model that also includes rainfall and CWD, and where these variables were kept constant at the mean value across sites (two-sided P = 0.003, see Fig. 2 for these models for rainfall and CWD).
