Phosphorus was strongly negatively correlated with richness, particularly at low grazing frequency.
pH was negatively correlated with richness of total species in spring and summer, and TK was significantly positive with richness of total species in spring.
Few reports have correlated the richness of enzyme/proteins present in the exponential phase of the microbes to the maximum number of nanoparticles present in situ.
The newly generated variable, Axis 1, was highly correlated with richness (0.774) and number of stems (0.949) (Table 4).
We also statistically examine environmental and morphological correlates of richness in ice plants and find that diversity is strongly linked with precipitation, temperature, topographic complexity and the evolution of highly succulent leaves and wide-band tracheids.
We found that percentage of human-modified land cover (negatively correlated with native richness and positively correlated with exotic richness) was a particularly useful predictor of plant species richness and that human-caused disturbances exert a strong influence on species richness patterns within a mixed-disturbance oak savanna landscape.
Total biomass of predatory beetles was negatively correlated, and species richness positively correlated, with landscape habitat diversity.
The total number of functional genes did not correlate with taxonomic richness across all pooled samples (Pearson correlation, n = 9, r = 0.28), however the fluctuation in dissolved oxygen among South Arm sites (3510 and 2565) is positively correlated with the ratio of functional genes (GeoChip) to taxa (Phylochip) (Pearson correlation, p = 0.046, r = 0.82) (Table 1).
This predicts that (1) GS and TS are independent, (2) GS is correlated with resource richness and, (3) TS is correlated with resource dispersion [ 4, 13, 31].
Principal Component Analysis indicated that housing price and floor-area ratio are the variables that positively correlate with species richness for all groups of species.
