Fig. 2. Spatial and temporal changes in β-diversity between Holocene (pre-Columbian) and Anthropocene floras based on recent plant extinctions and naturalizations (best case scenario).

Fig. 2

Left panel shows the Holocene flora, middle the Anthropocene flora (based on recent extinctions and naturalizations) and right panel differences in turnover (homogenization) between Holocene and Anthropocene epochs. a The geographic sampling unit within level 3 regional classification as defined by the Biodiversity Information Standards Taxonomic Databases Working Group (TDWG). bd Spatial and temporal changes in turnover (β-diversity) in species diversity. eg Spatial and temporal changes in turnover (β-diversity) in phylogenetic diversity. hj Spatial and temporal changes in phylogenetic β-diversity standardized for species richness (phylogenetic tip shuffling 1000 times). Both species and phylogenetic turnover were calculated using Simpson’s metric of beta and phylogenetic beta diversity respectively, between 100 km × 100 km grid cells aggregated across level 3 TDWG biomes, a.
