Fig. 3: Higher productivity in mixed LC-type landscapes.
From: Landscape diversity promotes landscape functioning in North America
Land-cover-type richness (LCR) effect on a normalized growing-season-integrated productivity (EVIgs’), b the net diversity effect (NE) calculated as the difference between observed and expected EVIgs’ in mixed landscapes, with (c) the distribution of the NE{EVIgs’} values of each LC type compositions shown as histogram, and (d) inverse coefficient of inter-annual variation of EVIgs’ (CV-1{EVIgs’}). Black lines and areas shaded in blue: model-predicted mean ± s.e.m; dots: averages for each land-cover composition. See Table 1 for corresponding statistical significance tests.
