Extended Data Fig. 5: Hydraulic trait variation compared to species richness.

From: Hydraulic diversity of forests regulates ecosystem resilience during drought

Extended Data Fig. 5

Comparison of dominant tree species richness from gridded data of US forests against the hydraulic diversity—the standard deviation in HSM—at six eddy covariance sites in the United States that have adequate trait data. The red line indicates the best fit of the ordinary least-squares linear regression (n = 6 sites; R2 = 0.65; P = 0.04).
