Extended Data Fig. 4: Correlations between observed effects on CWMs and lower 5% percentiles of community trait distributions.
From: Winner–loser plant trait replacements in human-modified tropical forests
Correlations between standardized causal effect estimates (that is, effect sizes) of models predicting abundance-weighted means (x-axis) and lower 5% percentiles (y-axis) of community trait distributions in response to (a) forest loss, (b) fragmentation, (c) edge density, and (d) local degradation, for each study region (point colors) at each analyzed landscape scale (point sizes). Traits are organized by columns. Models for the total causal effect of each predictor have specific sets of control variables (see in Fig. 3). Points in the bottom-left and upper-right sides of each panel (as separated by dashed lines showing zero effects) illustrate similar effects in direction, while those in the bottom-right and upper-left sides illustrate contrasting effects. LMA, leaf mass per area.
