Fig. 3. Trends (Δ) in Essential Climatic Variables in Tropical
Mountain Cloud Forests between 1997 and 2020. Histograms describe the
distribution of average, minimum, and maximum surface temperatures
(a , b , and b ), precipitation (d ),
dew point (e ), atmospheric pressure (f ), volumetric
soil water content (VSWC) (g ), and potential evapotranspiration
(PET) (h ). The vertical long-dashed lines represent the mean
estimate based on the Bayes t-test , whereas the dotted lines
represent the credible intervals.
Table 1 . Temporal trends (Δ) of Essential Climatic Variables in
the TMCFs between 1997 and 2020. Upper values represent the mean
estimates based on the Bayes t-test , while values between
parentheses represent credible intervals. Oceania values belong to a
single TMCF category. Acronyms represent volumetric soil water content
(VSWC) and potential evapotranspiration (PET).
