Extended Data Fig. 8: The subordinate structural equation model (sub-SEM) depicting the relationships between climatic factors and plant diversity and community stability across multiple spatial scales within 36 NEON sites.
From: Consistent stabilizing effects of plant diversity across spatial scales and climatic gradients
Shown are the final sub-SEM with significant pathways (P < 0.05) and the standardized path correlation coefficients (that is, the values). Black and red arrows denote positive and negative associations, respectively, and grey arrows indicate correlations. Fisher’s C = 14.528; df = 16; p = 0.559; AIC = 64.528; n = 945. Note that diversity and stability metrics have been log-transformed. Abbreviations: MAP = mean annual precipitation, and MAT = mean annual temperature. Information about the priori SEM and the unstandardized direct effects are provided in Extended Data Fig. 2 and Supplementary Tables 6–7, respectively.
