Figure 3: Detailed example of species response.

Figure 3:

GLM results for Campanula rotundifolia (common name: harebell). Shown above are the marginal probabilities of occurrence individually by term from the best model for N deposition (a), N x pH (b), N x S (c), S deposition (d), S x pH (e), soil pH (f), precipitation (g), and temperature (h). All terms P<0.01 (Table S4). Black lines in main effect plots are average response and red lines are 95th CI. For interaction terms (b, c, e) the effect of the modifying term is shown as separate quartile lines (Q1-Q4). The best model is shown below the species name. Also shown is a photo of the species (i), a range map from the USDA (j, 59), and a plot map from this study (k). C. rotundafolia is a northern latitude wildflower that grows in drier, low nutrient soils.60 This species had a hump shaped relationship with N (average CL = 7.9 kg N ha−1 yr−1; 10th-90th CL = 5.9–10.6 kg N ha−1 yr−1), and a negative relationship with S. Interactions were statistically significant with little effect on marginal relationships, except for the N x S interaction, where the eutrophication effect was stronger (i.e., higher peak and lower N CL) if S deposition was low. The 10th-90th interval reported here is similar to that reported for C. rotundafolia in Ireland 22 and lower than that found in acid grasslands across Europe 21. See Figure S1 for results for all 198 species.
