Fig. 3: Causal effects amongst mean annual sums, interannual variability and temporal complexity of C fluxes.
From: Temporal complexity of terrestrial ecosystem functioning and its drivers
Panel a shows the directed acyclic graph indicating the direct standardised effects (±standard error of the mean) amongst variables. The direction of the arrows was decided based on the best fit of the different candidate models (see Methods). Panels b–g show the total effects of predictors (Y axes) on response variables (X axes). Effects shown as standardised parameter estimates indicating mean ± standard error of the mean as confidence intervals (β, N = 57, Supplementary Table S7). Dashed lines indicate non-significant paths, and the transparency indicates the strength of the relationship. GPP gross primary production, Re ecosystem respiration, NEP net ecosystem production, CD correlation dimension and IAV interannual variability.
