Figure 1

Multiple linear regression model fits to test the weed seedbank regulation by carabids. The log(Follow-up seedbank) is plotted against the log-transformed AD of: (a) all occurring carabid species; (b) seed-eating; (c) granivore; and, (d) omnivore carabids in session 2. The line represents the fixed-effect prediction and associated 95% confidence intervals (shaded), with the open circles being the partial residuals. Negative slopes indicate a regulatory effect of carabid AD on the seedbank.
