Fig. 3: Relationships between community stability and its components across the nine sites in the plant survey dataset.

The components include: a population stability (p = 0.187), b asynchrony (p < 0.001), c the compensatory effect (p = 0.009), and d the statistical-averaging effect (p = 0.017) across the nine sites in the plant survey dataset. All values are log10 transformed. Error bars: standard error (log10 transformed) across plots within each site. Regression and significance results formatted as in Fig. 2.
