The actual relationship between #TreeDiversity and #ForestStructuralComplexity is mediated by ecological characteristics such as density and #CanopyHeight, but the interfering factors may mask the positive correlation between the two.

2/4 💡 Key Findings

-Surface temp ⬆ when more forest burns 🔥
- Growing season soil temp ⬆ 2°C for every 10m decrease in canopy height
-Growing season soil moisture 💧 was weakly negatively impacted by the loss of 🌲
-Moderate resolution #CanopyHeight (15 m)🌲best explained differences in Temperature
