Fig. D1. Linear regression for ~7 year old forest (a) litter depth and distance from edge (Adj R² = 0.1851, P < 0.001) (b) Litter depth and beetle abundance (Adj R² = 0.0699, P = 0.0037).
Fig. D2. Nonlinear regressions 
for LAI vs. distance from edge at (a) ~7 year old forest (Adj R² = 0.22, P <0.0001), (b) ~27 year old forest (Adj R² = 0.1680, P < 0.0001), (c) ~45 year old forest (Adj R² = 0.1475, P = 0.003).
Fig. D3. Nonlinear regressions 
for mid-day average temperature vs. distance from edge at: (a) ~7 year old forest (Adj R² = 0.2941, P = 0.0080), (b) ~27 year old forest (Adj R² = 0.1593, P = 0.0151), (c) ~45 year old forest (Adj R² = 0.07210, P = 0.1834).
