Fig. 3: The effects of different drought timesdrying duration on the relationship between biodiversity and multifunctionality.

The relationship between biodiversity and community assembly and the cycling function of different elements during rewetting of different drying durations (a, b) and the relationship with multifunctionality and community stability (c, d). The red and black lines represent negative and positive correlations, respectively, and the asterisks represent significant effects. Arrow width is proportional to the strength of the relationship (Supplementary Table 6). Insignificant biofilm functional and structural parameters were excluded based on their outer loadings by employing SmartPLS software (Version 3, Boenningstedt, Germany).
