Fig. 7: Relationships among environmental variables, community diversity, and network stability.
From: Climate warming and nutrient enrichment destabilize plankton network stability over the past century
a and b Partial least-squares path modeling (PLS-PM) illustrating direct and indirect relationships among environmental variables, community richness, diversity, network complexity, and stability, with a goodness-of-fit of 0.76. Red and green solid arrows indicate positive and negative relationships (p < 0.05), respectively; dashed arrows represent non-significant paths (p > 0.05). Detailed path coefficients are provided in Table S4. c Generalized additive model (GAM) based on the Gaussian family depicting the relationship between temperature and complexity. d Relative importance of stability factors assessed using the Last method. Asterisk represents significance at *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001.
