Predictor variable | Species diversity | Soil moisture | Soil surface temperature | Available soil N |
Species diversity | 1 | −0.24* | −0.30** | −0.18† |
Soil moisture | 1 | 0.016 | 0.17 | |
Soil surface temperature | 1 | −0.068 | ||
Available soil N | 1 |
Species diversity was deliberately manipulated; soil moisture (%), soil surface temperature (°C), and available soil N (micrograms of N per gram of resin per day) were measured for each plot. Soil moisture, soil surface temperature, and available soil N were log-transformed for this and all other analyses. The significance of the correlations is indicated: **P < 0.01; *P < 0.05; †P < 0.1 (marginally significant).
