Fig. 5: Correlation between rescaled deviation of soil responses (decomposition rate, soil pH and WSA) from three null model predictions and normalized dissimilarity index.
From: Number and dissimilarity of global change factors influences soil properties and functions
a(1)–c(3) Scatter plots show the standardized deviation of soil responses from null model predictions for multiple-factor treatments. Net interaction type of each multiple-factor treatment is marked as different colored points (antagonistic, blue; synergistic, red; no interaction, gray). The better-fitting null model for each soil response has been selected based on the smallest model sum of squared deviation (SSD), and it is indicated by the bold frame [a(1), b(3) and c(3)]. The correlations between standardized deviation of soil responses from null model predictions and normalized dissimilarity index are shown in linear correlation with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). The statistical test used was two-sided. Spearman correlation coefficients and significance of correlations are indicated by R and p, respectively.
