From: Biodiversity across trophic levels drives multifunctionality in highly diverse forests
Overall multidiversity effects on average multifunctionality. Effects of average total community richness (average of standardized species richness across trophic levels, including tree species richness) on multifunctionality as the average of nine standardized ecosystem functions. Solid regression lines (model predictions for young (40 years), medium (70 years), and old (100 years) forest stands) indicate significant (P ≤ 0.05) relationships. The broken line indicates nonsignificant relationships. Note that y-axis values show data adjusted for covariates (see Supplementary Fig. 7a for raw data). Regression lines ( ± 1 SE, fitted across all 26 plots) are adjusted for covariates and indicate significant (P ≤ 0.05) relationships. The stand age of the study plots (n = 26) is indicated by a continuous gradient from white (youngest plots ~20-year-old) to black (oldest plots > 80-year-old); avg. average
