Final structural equation models for soil fertility (the first axis of a principal component analysis for organic carbon and total nitrogen) in Madrid and Málaga. In the Madrid model, plant community composition was evaluated with a one-dimensional ordination (performed with non-metric multidimensional scaling; NMDS axis a, b and c denote path coefficients from age to NMDS or PCO 1 axis (Madrid or Málaga), PCO 2 and root biomass, respectively, and d, e and f from dispersal limitations to NMDS or PCO 1 axis (Madrid or Málaga), PCO 2 and root biomass, respectively. Goodness-of-fit statistics for the Madrid (χ2 = 0.014, P = 0.907; NFI = 1; RMSEA = 0, P = 0.920) and Málaga (χ2 = 4.379, P = 0.223; NFI = 0.992; RMSEA = 0.065, P = 0.331) models.
