Predicted baseline annual mortality rate (deaths tree⁻¹ year⁻¹) calculated for each species both in the mean environment of the dataset for 20cm dbh trees, and at each species' median environmental conditions (that is the conditions at which the highest number of individuals within the dataset were found), using the best fit model. 95% confidence interval for the mortality rates are also given.
