Extended Data Fig. 1: Model parameter estimates for each of the eight plant groups.

Points represent the mean of the posterior distribution and lines represent the 95% credible intervals. Filled points indicate significant predictors of cover change where the 95% credible interval does not overlap zero. Traits include drought severity index (DSI), height (m), mass-based leaf nitrogen content (Leaf N, mg g−1), mean annual precipitation (Precipitation, mm), rooting depth (m), root diameter (mm), mass-based root nitrogen content (Root N, mg g−1), root mass fraction (RMF, g g−1), root tissue density (RTD, g cm−3), specific leaf area (SLA, m2 kg−1), and specific root length (SRL, m g−1).
