Extended Data Fig. 1: The global biogeography of the proportion of annual species and the effects of yearly and quarterly climate patterns.
From: Revising the global biogeography of annual and perennial plants
A, the global proportion of annuals in ecoregions with sufficient data; ecoregions with insufficient data (see Methods) are coloured grey resulting in 723 coloured cells. B, The distribution of annual proportions among ecoregions. C, The annual proportions in each of Whittaker’s Biomes. D, A scatterplot of the effects of mean yearly precipitation and temperature (the outline of Whittaker’s biomes is marked by orange lines). e, Predictions of a regression model of the annual proportions as a function of mean yearly temperature and precipitation (contour lines every 5%). F, A scatterplot of the effects of total precipitation and mean temperature of the warmest quarter. G, Predictions of a regression model of the annual proportions as a function of total precipitation and mean temperature of the warmest quarter (contour lines every 5%). Note that the scale is different for panel C. N = 723.
