From: Trait choice profoundly affected the ecological conclusions drawn from functional diversity measures
The average closeness of associations between species richness and functional diversity obtained by different methods across four functional diversity indices, FAD, FD, Q, and FDis and six ecosystems. For the CS method, the average was calculated using the highest closeness in each ecosystem. The blue lines indicate ± 1standard error. The different letters above the bars of one functional diversity indices indicate significant difference at the level of 0.05.
