Extended Data Fig. 5: Effect of plant species richness and legume presence on the network-wide metrics resulting from the flow uncertainty analysis (mean of the set of 10,000 parsimonious model solutions for each plot, n=80 plots).
From: Biodiversity increases multitrophic energy use efficiency, flow and storage in grasslands
(a) total energy flow, (b) community maintenance costs, and (c) flow uniformity. For response variables that show a significant legume effect (Supplementary Table 9), regression lines for plots containing legume (solid) and without legumes (dashed) are shown separately. Thick lines: significant effects (P<0.05; analysis of variance with sequential sum of squares, type I); thin lines: nonsignificant effects (P≥0.05) of plant species richness (Supplementary Table 3). Shaded areas around lines show 95% confidence intervals. Filled dots: plots containing legumes; open dots: plots without legumes.
