Each species in each plot obtained value 1 if it decreased from 2010 to 2014, and value 0 if it increased. In the models, individual species were nested within plots (i.e., plot was used as a random variable). Each trait was tested in its individual model to avoid multicollinearity. We used manual models simplification to identify the most parsimonious models and used χ test to assess the significance of each explanatory variable (at the end, the models included only significant explanatory variables with P < 0.05).
