Fig. 3

Plots (a), (c) and (e) show α-diversity in each group as a function of drainage area. Lines indicate linear mixed-effects models with shaded area showing 95% confidence intervals as calculated using the model predictions and standard error. Plots (a) and (e) show the models with a significant interaction between drainage area and season with the difference across each season (colour represents season). Plot (c) shows no significant effect of this interaction, the line indicates the model output of all data as a function of drainage area which is not significant (blue). Plots (b), (d) and (f) show change in α-diversity in each group over season with samples sites linked by grey lines over the three sampling seasons. Colour represents season: yellow—Spring, green—Summer and orange—Autumn.
