Fig. 5

B-C plot for species abundance data, 1250 quadrats (dots) of the BCI forest. Green line with slope of 1: line where gains equal losses. The red line is drawn parallel to the green line (i.e. with a slope of 1) and passing through the centroid of the points. Its position below the green line indicates that, on average, species losses dominated gains between 1985 and 2015. Dot fill colours correspond to habitat types; habitat colour codes are the same as in Fig. 1. Red arrow: direction where D = (B + C) increases
