Fig. 4

Partial dependence plots (PDPs) and individual conditional expectation (ICE) curves showing the effects of species richness (SR) and phylogenetic diversity (PD) on individual ecosystem functions and ecosystem multifunctionality (EMF). Panels a-l correspond to model-predicted responses of: (a, b) aboveground biomass (AGB); (c, d) soil organic carbon (SOC); (e, f) soil total nitrogen (TN); (g, h) soil available phosphorus (AP); (i, j) soil available potassium (AK); and (k, l) EMF. In each panel, the solid blue line represents the smoothed PDP, the grey shaded area indicates the 95% confidence interval, and the dashed lines show ICE curves for individual observations.
