Estimating Coextinction Risks from Epidemic Tree Death: Affiliate Lichen Communities among Diseased Host Tree Populations of Fraxinus excelsior
Figure 4
Risk curves for seven local lichen communities on F. excelsior subjected to ash dieback.
The curves show the cumulative probability that the proportion of species remaining in the community falls below a certain proportion of the original species following the most optimistic (a) and the most likely scenario (b) of ash dieback mortality. Each curve is computed from 100 replicate communities. Remaining communities fall within the current range, but are not shown to ease visual interpretation.
