Fig. 5: Correlations among landscape richness, environmental co-variables, and landscape functioning variables for 250 × 250 m and 500 × 500 m landscape plots.
From: Terrestrial land-cover type richness is positively linked to landscape-level functioning
Matrices show overall (across block) and block-adjusted (within block) Pearson correlation coefficients (r) for 250 × 250 m landscapes (a) and 500 × 500 m landscapes (b). Adjusting for block reduces correlations of landscape richness and environmental variables (all n.s.). log(LR): log-transformed landscape richness; Temp: mean annual temperature; Precip: annual precipitation; Irrad: mean irradiation; Alt: altitude; Slope: slope; N-aspect: north-south aspect; \(\overline {{\mathrm{EVI}}}\) and EVIGS: mean and integrated growing-season productivity; GSL: growing-season length; αNIR: near-infrared albedo; NE: net diversity effect for these variables; CV−1: temporal stability of these variables; n = 237 and 77 for 250 × 250 m and 500 × 500 m land-cover composition × block combinations, respectively.
