Fig. 4 — Local diversity on a patch (y-axis) across a gradient of local patch nutrient supply concentration (nodes in shades of green) in homogeneous (purple) and heterogeneous (green, orange, blue) landscapes. Violin plots below the x-axis show nutrient distributions within the landscape for each scenario, bars represent medians and diamonds represent means. The meta-food-web consists of a complex food web of 10 plants (blue nodes) and 30 animals (red nodes) and large homogeneous and heterogeneous landscapes with 50 habitat patches with different patch nutrient supply concentrations (nutrient supply concentrations on habitat patches are colour coded). Edges indicate dispersal links for an exemplary species with a dispersal range of 0.3. Lines are a smooth fit from a GAM model with 95% confidence intervals in ggplot2, circles represent the data and the circle size the number of data points.
