Table 1 Summary of the general linear models (GLMs) for the effects of abiotic factors (soil moisture, soil pH and mean annual temperature) and biodiversity (plant species richness and soil biodiversity) on ecosystem multifunctionality (EMF).

  1. df, degree of freedom; MS, mean square; MAT, mean annual temperature; pH, soil pH; plant SR, plant species richness; SE, standard errors; SM, soil moisture; VIF, variance inflation factor.
  2. The best-fit model of the GLMs can be expressed as: EMF=0.982+1.492 × SM−1.111 × pH+0.178 × plant SR+0.307 × soil biodiversity+0.037 × MAT.
