Observed successional trajectories of stem density, basal area, and species density. For each plot within each site, temporal changes in stem density, basal area (in square meters), and species density are plotted against age since pasture or clearcut abandonment (lines connecting same symbols). Each of these attributes was standardized by plot size, depending upon the site (Methods).
