From: Aboveground carbon storage is driven by functional trait composition and stand structural attributes rather than biodiversity in temperate mixed forests recovering from disturbances

Fig. 3

The best-fit structural equation model for linking disturbance levels, diversity (FEve), stand structure attribute (CVDBH), functional trait composition (CWMMH), and aboveground C storage in the temperate mixed forests. Solid arrows represent significant paths, and dashed arrows represent nonsignificant paths. For each path, the standardized regression coefficient is shown. R2 indicates the total variation in a dependent variable that is explained by the combined independent variables. The detail model-fit statistics summary is provided in Table S6 (χ2 = 1.31, P value = 0.25, RMSEA = 0.035, SRMR = 0.016, CFI = 1.00). *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01
