Extended Data Fig. 4 | Effect of disturbance intensity on carbon
accumulation. Carbon accumulation in plots with high intensity disturbance
(black circles, black line) versus low intensity disturbance (grey circles, grey
line). The most disturbed categories had lower residual biomass at the
initiation of regrowth (for example, 0 Mg C ha−1 versus 28 Mg C ha−1 in the least
disturbed category; Welch’s t-value = 5.9, P < 0.0001), suggesting that the
higher rate in the most disturbed category is due to standard sigmoidal growth
rates in forests.
