Figure
1. Variation partitioning
analysis for the relative importance of stand factors vs. diversity in
explaining forest biomass (A), productivity (B) and their stability (C
and D, respectively) at different plot size. For the 400, 800 and 1200
m2 grain size, we reported the mean percentage of
variations explained (PVE), and the standard error, during the 200
sampling of 14 subplots (see Methods). The 2500 m2results were based on models in Table 3. Abbreviations: Diver_T,
Diver_P, Stand_T and Stand_P, the total and pure effect of diversity
indices, and the total and pure effect of stand factors, respectively.
