Extended Data Fig. 7: Differences between biomes, forests not aggregated.
From: Citizen science plant observations encode global trait patterns
Difference between sPlotOpen and iNaturalist maps for each WWF terrestrial biome. All traits were scaled by range [ − 1, 1] using the 0.05 and 0.95 quantiles. The bounds of the box are defined by the first and third quartile, the centre lines are the medians, the whiskers mark the 1.5 interquartile range (IQR), outliers are not shown. The red step-graph shows the sample size n = the number of iNaturalist map pixels that overlap the respective sPlotOpen map per biome and trait. The blue step-graph marks the mean density of iNaturalist vascular plant observations per km2 in each biome. For exact sample sizes per biome and trait, see Supplementary Information Table S1.
