Expected success of directional felling planted trees down the
3planting line as a function of DBH and measured variables that contrast tree
4characteristics perpendicular to and parallel with the planting line (stem
5lean, crown ratio, and slope ratio). Variable represents predictor variables in
6the regression model and value represents the predictors relative strengths
7of influence on the response/predicted variables. The center dots indicate
8predicted values, the thick horizontal bands indicate the 68% confidence
9interval, and the thinner, wider bands indicate the 95% confidence interval.
10A predictor is significant if its confidence interval does not contain 0. Thus,
11for example, DBH is not a significant predictor, Crown is a marginally12significant predictor, and Lean is a significant predictor. All predictors were
13scaled to a standard deviation of 1, and centered around 0, to improve
14interpretability of the predictors relative strength of influence on the
15predicted variable compared to the other predictors (Schielzeth, 2010). A
16negative estimate indicates that higher values of that predictor correspond
17to lower likelihood of the tree being successfully felled down the planting line
18in either direction.
