Fig. 4: Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal hotspots and global protected areas.
From: Global hotspots of mycorrhizal fungal richness are poorly protected
Predicted richness and endemism hotspots (95th percentile of predictions) for AM fungi. Coloured areas on the map show richness hotspots (green), rarity hotspots (purple) and the overlap of richness and rarity hotspots (yellow). Black areas indicate non-hotspots. Bar graphs show the total hotspot size and percentage overlap with protected areas by biome, and grey bars reflect different IUCN management categories (I, most strictly preserved habitats; NA, unassigned category). The dashed line at 30% hotspot area protected reflects the ambitions of 30 × 30 target goals under the Kunming–Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework. ND, no data.
