Figure 1 Comparison of slopes of the observed species-area
curves and METE scale-collapse predictions in each of the six years.
Figure 2a Mean squared error between the observed and predicted
slopes. Initial agreement with METE in 2014 decreases in subsequent
years as depicted by the increasing errors.
Figure 2b Mean squared error between the observed and predicted
rank abundance curves. Agreement with METE in 2014 is followed by
consistent disagreement.
Figure 3 Comparison of observed and METE predicted SAD through
rank ordered graphs in each of the six years. The cloud of thin lines
represents 1,000 rank ordered random draws from the predicted SAD.
Figure 4a-d Abundance, species richness, mortality and
recruitment over time.
Figure 5 Plot of SAR error versus net loss.
