Table 1.
Characteristics of the study sites. Plot locations are the areas where inventory plots are located (for more details of individual plots, see Table S1). Date of fieldwork are the mean ± 95% CI for the start date of the inventory for each site; time since disturbance the mean time elapsed between this date and the mid‐year of the census interval when high tree mortality occurred in the disturbed subplot. For stem number, wood density and species richness, mean ± 95% CI of values for control subplots are shown
