Extended Data Fig. 2: Biodiversity impacts soil moisture and organic carbon (SOC) by influencing root depth, consequently shaping the sensitivity of spring leaf unfolding to warming (ST).
From: Biodiversity buffers the response of spring leaf unfolding to climate warming

a-f, represent Partial correlation analysis results between biodiversity and root depth (a), biodiversity and spring soil moisture (b), biodiversity and SOC (c), root depth and soil organic carbon (d), root depth and spring soil moisture (e), spring soil moisture and ST (f), respectively. The significance was based on the t statistics using a two-tailed test and to control the false discovery rate, the Benjamini-Hochberg (BH) method was employed in a-f. *, P<0.05; **, P<0.01; NS, not significant; P, positive effect; and N, negative effect.
