Appendix C. Mean species richness as a function of time span and area for each data set.
Each figure below shows species–time and –area data for each of the eight data sets. Panels on the left show mean species number as a function of time-span of sampling (in years), with different symbols showing different spatial scales of sampling (in square meters ). Panels on the right show mean species number as a function of area of sampling, with different symbols showing different temporal scales of sampling (in years). Lines show linear-regressions in log-log space.
