Extended Data Fig. 7: Drivers of novelty evenly affect areas of differing protection status.
From: Widespread ecological novelty across the terrestrial biosphere
Data shown are for each individual novelty driver – climate novelty (top), defaunation novelty (middle) and floristic disruption (bottom). Cells are divided into broad climatic regions; the global results are shown to the right of the vertical black line. Colours indicate the protection category of each cell as either a ‘protected area’ or not inside a protected area, with data from outside protected areas generated from 1000 iterations of random, equal area draws from the same climate region for each protected area In the box plots the central line represents the median, the upper and lower box limits represent the first and third quartiles respectively. Whiskers extend to 1.5 times the interquartile range. Numbers above each pair are the effect size (Hedges G) for that comparison. All pairwise comparisons are significant (in each case p < 0.0001 in a two-sided, unpaired t-test with Welch’s correction).
