Results of LMs on total species richness (Total SR), number of oligotrophic species (Oligo SR), number of target species for conservation in Swiss agriculture (Agri SR), community uniqueness, functional diversity (FD) and phylogentic diversity (PD) at 381 1 km² study plots. Given are non-standardized parameter estimates for linear (L) and quadratic (Q) terms of the predictor variables listed in table 1 (‘<0’ for estimates between −0.001 and 0; ‘>0’ for estimates between 0 and 0.001).
