Figure 3. Effects of warming, canopy disturbance, and drought on whole network resilience.

Figure 3

Presented are treatment effects in (a) the first (n=69) and (b) the second experiment (n=34) on the degree of self-damping (minimum s) that is required for all eigenvalues of the Jacobian matrix to have negative real parts. Food webs that required a smaller degree of self-damping were considered to be more resilient to perturbations. Here, differences among treatments are not significant. Box plots are based on median (horizontal line), first and third quartile (rectangle), 1.5 × interquartile range (whiskers), and outliers (isolated points).
