Relationships between mean pairwise distance (effect size MPD), mean nearest taxon distance (effect size MNTD) and land-use intensity (LUI) in three regions in Germany.

<p>Linear regression plots showing regression slopes for relationships between (a–c) mean pairwise distance and (d–f) mean nearest taxon distance for total, common and rare species assemblages and land-use intensity (LUI). Color and type code: red solid line/circle = Schwäbische Alb (Alb); green dashed line/square = Hainich-Dün (Hai); blue dotted line/triangle = Schorfheide-Chorin (Sch). Note different scales of y-axes.
