Fig. 6: Increasing mutualism affects abundance, function, and temporal stability.

From: Mutualism increases diversity, stability, and function of multiplex networks that integrate pollinators into food webs

Fig. 6

Formatting follows Fig. 5 with the addition of floral rewards shown in lightest purple. a Final diversity from Fig. 5 is shown again for reference. Stacked bar graphs show the contribution of each guild (colors) to total ecosystem b abundance, c productivity, d consumption, and average variability over time of e species and f guilds, with colors representing the average variability of the guild in (f) or species within the guild in (e). b The community-wide carrying capacity for plant vegetative biomass (K) is marked on the y-axis; total plant vegetative biomass (summed vegetation of plants with and without pollinators) does not exceed this value.
