Figure 3

Patterns of beta Net relatedness index (betaNRI a,b) and beta Nearest Taxon Index (betaNTI c,d).

(a,c) patterns across six successional stages and (b,d) for herbaceous and woody plants in the late three successional stages. Specifically betaNRI or betaNTI <0 represents phylogenetic divergence, while betaNRI or betaNTI >0 indicates phylogenetic convergence. Asterisks indicate overall significance according to two-tailed t-tests (p < 0.05). See Methods for details.
