Heat maps reveal that the relative size of the seed bank (% Dormant) was strongly related to the microscale property of encounter but was independent of the macroscale properties of total resources and resource supply. In each plot, blue heat maps represent the results of models that included chemical complexity (recalcitrant; complex molecules) and excluded active dispersal. Red heat maps are results of models that excluded chemical complexity (labile; simple molecules) but included chemotaxis. Greater heat, i.e., areas within heat maps that have lighter colors, corresponds to a greater number of model results.
