Fig. 2: Global maps overlapping modelled springtail density and local species richness and community metabolism in soil.

From: Globally invariant metabolism but density-diversity mismatch in springtails

Fig. 2

In (a) colours distinguish areas with different combinations of density and species richness, e.g., low density—low richness is given in yellow and high density—high richness in violet. In (b) the colour gradient indicates community metabolism, with potential coldspots shown in yellow and hotspots shown in blue. Pixels below the 90% extrapolation threshold for the corresponding variables are masked (see methods). Correlations between density or metabolism and species richness (inset graphs) are based on site-level data (points; n = 1257).
