The linear mixed-effects models illustrate the effects of a mean annual temperature (MAT) and b mean annual precipitation (MAP) on log-transformed response ratio of herbaceous community foliar fungal pathogen load between shrub patches and grassland patches’ plots (i.e., LRR pathogen load), c MAT and d MAP on log-transformed response ratio of herbaceous plant community aboveground biomass between shrub patches and grassland patches’ plots (i.e., LRR herbaceous biomass), e LRR herbaceous biomass on LRR pathogen load. Parameter significance was assessed by F-tests (two-tailed). Solid lines and shadows indicate significant effects (P < 0.05) and 95% confidence intervals; n = 320 for these linear mixed-effects models. Data points represent the log-transformed response ratios of the original data.
