3. Figure I
Main Biodiversity Drivers across Scales. The main drivers influencing species diversity (purple) across scales, considering theories that reflect communities as unsaturated at local (brown), regional (green), and continental (blue) scales. Triangles express the magnitude of the relationship (the wider part reflects greater magnitude) between the driver and the biodiversity. Integrated biodiversity modelling frameworks could be used to consider the final predicted composition or species richness as a probability distribution (δ), whose properties (i.e., mean and variance) depend on the different drivers and processes at different scales (γl, γr, γc).
