Table 2.

Horizontal scales of variation considered in the primary literature.

Horizontal distance between neighboring samples (m)
≤ 0.1 0.1–1 1–10 10–100 100–250
Percentage of references 29 21 29 67 13

We categorized the horizontal distance between neighboring samples in the references listed in Table S1 in 5 bins. The total is more than 100% because many references (38%) have multi-scale sampling schemes.
