Behavior of carrying capacity depending on: dominance of pioneer species (i.e.,proportion of basal area in Nothofagus species); a climate variable (i.e., precipitation in the driest month); and tree species diversity (i.e., Shannon index). Carrying capacity is represented by SDImax. Species diversity levels were set to low (a), medium (b), and high (c) by using the values of 0.05, 1, and 2 for the Shannon index, respectively
