  1. Best models (with ΔAICc < 2) are considered those that present similar statistical support. d.f.: degree of freedom, AICc, %E.V. = percent of explained variability of each model; pseudo R2 was used for beta taxonomic and functional diversity, and adjusted R2 for alpha functional diversity. For GLM with negative binomial distribution, we calculated the explained variability of each model as the ratio: (null deviance-residual deviance)/null deviance. sN = similarity in nitrogen content, sCanopy = similarity in canopy cover, sLitter = similarity in leaf litter depth.
