Extended Data, Fig. 6. Computing species abundance surfaces on the TC - EI graph and simulated edge response types on the TC – EI graph.

(a) Plots superimposed on an hypothetical TC map. Marker colours correspond to the abundance of a hypothetical species and follow the colour bar shown in (c). (b) EI map corresponding to (a). (c) TC - EI graph: species abundance (warm colour = higher abundance) is plotted as a function of TC and EI measured at the species’ plots. In this example, the species is predominantly found in sites characterised by high TC and low |EI|, and would be classified as a core forest species. (d) Illustration of the training set of edge response types used for classification. Each of the 7 response type has around 15 patterns associated with it in the training set; here we show 2 examples for the forest core type and forest edge type and one example for the forest no-preference type. Each graph is a TC – EI graph with TC on the x-axis and EI on the y-axis. Warmer colours means high abundance, dark blue is 0.
