Y. Li, C.C. and J.X. conceived the study in conversation with M.M.M. Y. Li and C.C. assembled the forest census data. Y.J. and Y. Li cleaned and formatted the data. J.X. and Y. Li analysed the data and generated figures and tables. Y. Li wrote the manuscript with input from C.C., J.X., S.J.W., M.M.M. and O.G. F.H. made substantial contributions during revisions. The authors (including A.A., K.J.A.-T., J.B., J.D.B., P.B., N.A.B., W.B., D.F.R.P.B., M.C., K.C., S.J.D., Q.D., S.E., A.F., E.S.F., G.S.G., Z.H., J.H., M.J., G.J., D.J.J., A.S.J., K.K., A.J.L., B.L., J.L., L.L., F.L., Y.
