a-d, The results for arid (a), semi-arid (b), dry sub-humid (c) and humid (d) regions. The numbers represent the mean of standardized path coefficients, with asterisks denote the significance (**P < 0.01; *P < 0.05). The colors and widths of the arrows represent the signs (blue for negative, red for positive) and magnitudes of the path coefficients, respectively. The significance was based on a two-tailed Student’s t-test. En1, En2, Ex1, Ex2, Ex3, Ex32 indicate the effect of six major paths; EnT is the total endogenous effect, and ExT is the total exogenous effect.
