Fig. 1 — A The proportion of qualitative mismatches (one responds positively and the other negatively) between thirteen aggregate properties including three measures of diversity (richness, Shannon index, and Chao index), two broad ecosystem functions (biomass and respiration), and eight narrow ecosystem functions subdivided into P-cycling enzymes (phosphatase), N-cycling enzymes (N-acetyl-beta-glucosaminidase), hydrolytic C-cycling enzymes (beta-xylosidase, cellobiodydrolase, beta-glucosidase, and alpha-glucosidase), and oxidative C-cycling enzymes (peroxidase and phenol oxidase). B Correlations between the responses of three specific pairs of aggregate properties: (1) biomass and respiration, (2) biomass and richness, and (3) Chao index and phosphatase. Points that fall in the blue areas of the plots were cases when the two metrics responded in the same way to a perturbation in a given experiment, while points that fall in the red areas were cases when there were qualitative mismatches between observations. The proportion of points that are red in these figures corresponds to the proportion of mismatches reported in (A).
