Each FIA plot is composed of four individual subplots; within each subplot, the diameter at breast height (dbh) of every tree >12.7cm is measured during each measurement period. The FIA collects measurements of tree size, growth, and land-use within a nested plot design across the country19. Wilson, E. O. Half-Earth: Our Plants Fight for Life (Liveright, New York, 2017). An example of this is the great plains of the Midwest U.S. divided into three bioregions -- north, south, and central. Since the FIA does not contain information about the geometry of non-forest conditions beyond the subplot boundary, we deemed that the large uncertainty in the relationship between these subplots to a non-forest edge precluded their inclusion in the study.

Temperate forest edges have similar microclimatic differences, but contrasting biomass and productivity responses, emphasizing a need for a better understanding of edge ecosystems in non-tropical biomes6,15,17,18. Together, these results suggest that the pattern of elevated growth along forest edges holds true across large portions of the temperate forest biome. 185, 878882 (2010). 21, 15721585 (2018). Subplots located within the same plot as an edge subplot (i.e., edge-proximate subplots) were excluded from this study due to limitations in our ability to quantify their distance from an edge. 66, 185194 (1993).

Given their spatial configuration, FIA subplots are not fully independent measurements, potentially introducing issues with pseudo-replication and spatial autocorrelation within our dataset. 3b), (2) we calculated the total area of each forest type group within each ecoregion, then used the average temperature, light, water, and nitrogen deposition in each ecoregion as inputs to our GLM regression models to calculate the BAI of edge and interior forest for each forest type. 12, 14041413 (2018).

With a memorandum of understanding between the USFS and Harvard University, we had access to the true, unfuzzed plot coordinates, which are not publicly available. A foundational paradigm in biological and Earth sciences is that our planet is divided into distinct ecoregions and biomes demarking unique assemblages of species. Ecoregions are a widely used geographic partitioning of ecosystems into coherent spatial units as defined by abiotic, biotic, and anthropogenic characteristics28. 14, 434447 (2016).

However, to account for autocorrelation between subplots, we filtered our pre-matched dataset to only including one subplot from each FIA plot. With the proportional area of each forest type, we calculated an area-weighted mean and then differenced the estimated edge and interior BAI to produce an expected difference of forest growth (BAIm2ha1) between edge and interior within each ecoregion (Supplementary Fig. Across all four regression analyses, the best-performing model was one that included an interaction between the edge-status and forest type categorical variables, as well as the variables of temperature-limitation, light-limitation, water-limitation, and nitrogen deposition.
