Effect of covariates on the rate at which post-disturbance ACS changes converge to a theoretical steady state. Covariates are the disturbance intensity DIST (in green), the structure of the forest before disturbance (the number of individual trees S N , the basal area S BA , in pink), the functional trait composition of the forest before disturbance (seed mass T SEED , specific leaf area T SLA , wood density T WD , maximum size TDBH95, in maroon), the local environment (proportion of bottomlands E BOTTOM , average slope E SLOPE , altitudinal heterogeneity E HETE , in blue) and the climate stress (drought intensity C DROUGHT , days with water saturation C WATER , in red). Covariates are centred and standardized. Posterior distribution (median and 0.95 credibility intervals) are reported. Negative covariate values indicate slowing and positive values indicate accelerating rates. a Survivors’ ACS growth. b Survivors’ ACS loss. c New recruits’ ACS. d Recruits’ ACS growth. e Recruits’ ACS loss
