From: Demographic variation and habitat specialization of tree species in a diverse tropical forest of Cameroon

Figure 5

Demographic rates of five abundant species (those in Figure1), one from each habitat specialist category, across five habitats. On the left, (panels A through E) are median growth rates (mm · y−1) and on the right (panels F through J) are mortality (% · y−1). Panels A and F: depression specialist Oubanguia alata; panels B and G: flat-terrain specialist Strombosia pustulata; panels C and H: gully specialist Uvariodendron connivens; panels D and I: slope specialist Diospyros ituriensis; panels E and J: ridge specialist Tabernaemontana brachyantha. The bar is darker gray for the habitat in which each species specializes. Statistical significance based on 95% credible intervals is indicated by letters a and b at base of bars, for within-species comparisons only: habitats with a alone had a rate significantly different from habitats with b alone, but ab means no difference from either.
