Net effects of various parameters on biological richness
| Abiotic | Spatial | Biotic | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cyanobacteria | 0.45 | 0.40 | 0 |
| Fungi | 0.42 | 0.34 | 0.20 |
| Multicellular Taxa | 0.39 | 0.21 | 0.21 |
Net effects of abiotic environmental filters, spatial processes, and biotic interactions on cyanobacterial, fungal, and multicellular taxon richness. Effects were calculated using composite variables within the SEM and represent the absolute standardized path coefficients (ranging from 0 to 1).
