From: Tree species diversity impacts average radial growth of beech and oak trees in Belgium, not their long-term growth trend

Fig. 4

Visualization of the long-term trend in radial growth for beech (a) and oak (b) center trees. BAI is predicted by the date models for a tree with constant Dp and BAL (median values from 1927 and 1899 for beech and oak respectively). For the prediction of beech BAI, SWBA was set to one (red), two (green) and three (blue) (representing plots with one, two and three tree species with perfect evenness, respectively) to visualize the effect of diversity on beech radial growth. Values are presented relative to the predicted BAI in 1927 of a tree growing in a plot with SWBA equal to one for beech and 1899 for oak
