Proportional Overlap of Expansion of Cropland between 1992 and 2015 and Deviations from the Global Null Model of Cropland Extent in 1992 (Experimental Procedures; Null Model)
| Expansion of Cropland 1992–2015 |
|||
|---|---|---|---|
| 0.5% Crop | 10% Crop | 50% Crop | |
| Positive Deviance 2SD | 1.35 | 3.05 | 0.03 |
| Positive Deviance 1SD | 1.53 | 2.58 | 0.03 |
| Negative Deviance 2SD | 0.41 | 0.39 | 2.41 |
| Negative Deviance 1SD | 0.34 | 0.43 | 3.40 |
The predictor variables in the Null Model are the same as in Model 1 (Table 1), but the Null Model uses all data globally; Model 1 uses balanced samples of 500 presences and absences (Experimental Procedures). “Positive Deviance” and “Negative Deviance” refer to 2 or 1 or more positive (or negative) standard deviations (2SD and 1SD) from the Null Model. Ratios >1 indicate overrepresentation; ratios <1 indicate underrepresentation (more or less overlap of cropland and a given deviation threshold than would be expected if both are equally common across the land area they cover39).
