- Method / resource The resilience prediction model achieved R 2 of 0.67.
- Method / resource The resistance prediction model achieved R 2 of 0.48.
- Method / resource The growth stability model was weaker.
- Association Wettest-month precipitation, settlement distance and slope were the leading resilience factors, explaining 51% of the effect.
- Association Altitude, temperature seasonality and humus accumulation were significant resistance factors, explaining 61% of the effect.
- Association Tree diversity was positively associated with forest resilience.
- Association Wettest-month precipitation explained 43.52% of growth stability variation.
- Recommendation The authors recommend considering tree diversity in management and restoration of degraded forests.
- Recommendation Alleviating local disturbance could shorten dryland forest recovery time.
