Fig. 8From: Geoecological parameters indicate discrepancies between potential and actual forest area in the forest-steppe of Central MongoliaBoxplots of tree biomass (Mg·ha− 1) of forests differing with respect to edge effects, influence of fire, logging and sediment type. Horizontal line = median, bars = quartiles, whiskers = range, dots = outliers. Means sharing a common letter, do not differ significantly (Duncan’s multiple range test, p ≤ 0.05)Back to article page
