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).
