  1. Given are minimum, maximum and interquartile ranges of the number of species examined per study (Species), sample volume used for chemical lignin extraction (Lignin) and proportion of samples used for model validation and calibration (Val/Cal). Additional abbreviations as in Table 1. Superscript numbers indicate the number of individual datasets that entered the analysis. See Table S1 for details on individual studies.
