Fig. 4: Effects of species richness on community stability and its components in the biodiversity-manipulated experimental dataset.

From: Biodiversity stabilizes plant communities through statistical-averaging effects rather than compensatory dynamics

Fig. 4

Relationships between species richness and a community stability (p < 0.001 for BigBio and p = 0.641 for BioCON), b population stability (p = 0.021 for BigBio and 0.002 for BioCON), c asynchrony (p < 0.001 for BigBio and p = 0.001 for BioCON), d the compensatory effect (p < 0.001 for BigBio and 0.231 for BioCON), and e the statistical-averaging effect (p < 0.001 for both studies) for BigBio (blue) and BioCON (orange) are shown. All values are log10 transformed. Regression and significance results formatted as in Fig. 2. Note that slopes on d and e add to the slope on c, and the slopes on c and b add to that on a, except for rounding error.
