Fig. 2.

Effects of individual aspects of species life history on species abundance, showing total (overall) effect of the predictor set and the net effect after effects of all other predictor sets have been partialled out (as indicated in the key). Note that the effects of seed reproduction on local abundance have a negative sign (see Table 2). Life-history aspects are indicated as follows (see Methods): seed – seed size and garden seed reproduction; vegetative – garden vegetative reproduction and morphological traits from CLOPLA; growth – SLA and height; Ellenberg – Ellenberg indicator values.
