From: Biodiversity and ecosystem functions depend on environmental conditions and resources rather than the geodiversity of a tropical biodiversity hotspot

Figure 1

Explained deviance of species diversity (left) and ecosystem functions (right) by a geodiversity index as well as environmental variables. Models using environmental variables are based on three predictors accounting for conditions and resources of the three groups climate, habitat, and soil, while models using the geodiversity index consider the summed spatial diversities of the same three predictors. The predictor sets are selected individually for each response (depicted in Fig. 2) and are hold equal for both models based on the geodiversity index as well as environmental variables (see also Extended Data Figs. E1 and E2).
