4 species with ‘U-shaped’ responses were omitted as not ecologically realistic. a-h , Response curves of plant species to NLC-O. k-l , Summary statistics of preferred NLC-Os. a, Summary of all 1 121 native plants responding to NLC-O (with percentages in parentheses). b-d, Response curves of species with decreasing (each red line indicates one species) ( b ), unimodal (each blue line indicates one species) ( c ) and increasing (each green line indicates one species) ( d ) relations with NLC-O. The dark black line is the average response curve of each species group. The yellow line indicates the... Mehr ...
