Figure 1 Species richness of different fencing duration and
shrub cover communities.
Figure 2 Non-metric multidimensional scaling (NMDS) ordination
of community taxonomic composition. A) Fencing duration treatments; B)
Shrub cover treatments. Each point represents the species composition in
a given quadrat. Lines represent the confdence ellipse at the 0.95
level.
Figure 3 Phylogenetic diversity of different fencing duraition
and shrub cover communities.
Figure 4 Relationship between phylogenetic diversity and
species richness.
Figure 5 The standardized effect sizes SES of mean pairwise
distance (SESMPD) and mean nearest taxon distance
(SESMNTD). The significant difference from the null
model is shown by asterisks. The same English letters indicate
non-significant differences (p >0.05) among different
fencing duration treatments; and the same Greek letters indicate
non-significant (p >0.05) differences among different
shrub cover conditions.
