Figure 2 Results of linear regression analysis testing the relationship between canopy openness and mean diameter at breast height (DBH) in Abitibi clay plots. Only Abitibi clay plots are shown because differences in canopy openness values between PCT and control plots on the other two site-types varied by less than 2%. Solid circles and white squares represent the mean DBH (n = 8) of PCT and non-thinned plots, respectively, on each of 8 plots. PCT and non-thinned plots from the same site are linked by dashed lines. The linear regression model includes all 64 data points (see Supplementary Data File—S1). The grey shaded area represents the 95% confidence interval of the predicted regression slope. Vertical lines represent the standard error of DBH within sites.
