Appendix K. Figures showing predicted 500-year trends in total adult basal area, total sapling density and total seedling density in four herbivory scenarios for the alluvial and marine terrace forests.
The two panels of figures below show predicted 500-year changes in total adult basal area (upper row), total sapling density (middle row) and total seedling density (lower row) for four rodent-deer herbivory scenarios in the alluvial (Fig. K1) and marine (Fig. K2) terrace forests. The four rodent-deer herbivory scenarios were: + deer + rodents (left panel), − deer + rodents (central left panel), + deer − rodents (central right panel), − deer − rodents (right panel). Each scenario was run for 500 years using a SORTIE/NZ parameter file (available for download; see Supplement) and 100 different starting conditions. Hence, each figure within a panel is a summary of data from 100 simulations at each of 500 annual time-steps, with the areas of decreasing shading represent the 40−60%, 25−75%, and 2.5−97.5% quantiles.
