Figure 4: Differences in evidence between service providers and non-service providers.

From: Disaggregating the evidence linking biodiversity and ecosystem services

Figure 4

Service providers are the taxa, communities or functional groups expected to be responsible for the ES of interest. (a) Number of relationships involving service providers (SP) and non-service providers (non-SP). Blue denotes service providers and orange denotes non-service providers. (b) Comparing the balance of evidence between service providers and non-service providers (G-tests; total: G=4.50, degrees of freedom (d.f.)=2, P=0.106, n=163; management: G=7.94, d.f.=2, P=0.019, n=54; spatial: G=4.82, d.f.=2, P=0.090, n=79). Pie charts are scaled such that their areas (not radii) are proportional to the number of relationships. Colours depict the sign of the reported relationship: blue=positive; red=negative; yellow=not significant. See Fig. 1 for description of three linkage types. Labels for significance: *P<0.10; **P<0.05.
