Supplementary Appendix
Figure S1. Sequential correlation between partial and full assemblage species richness patterns. The analysis was performed for 9 different subsets of sampling plots, with sizes ranging as follow ( a): <5m2; (b): ≥5 to ≤20 m2; (c): >20 to ≤25m2; (d): >25 to ≤50 m2; (e): >50 to ≤100m2; (f): 100 m2; (g): >100 to ≤200 m2; (h): >200 to ≤300 m2; and (g): >300 to ≤ 600m2. Other details are as described in Figure 1.
Figure S2. Sequential correlation between assemblages of species richness patterns, plotted as a function of accumulated information, a measure of the overall numbers of records at all sampling plots (see Methods for details). Other details are as described in Figure 1.
Figure S3. Contribution of rare and common species to overall pattern in species richness, based on data collected at coniferous habitat types. Panel (a) shows the sequential correlation between partial and full assemblage species richness patterns. Subsets of species were assembled by ranking species by number of sampling plots occupied, starting with either the most common species (Black colour) or the rarest species (Grey colour). Successively rarer (or more common) species were added one by one to from nested subsets, until all species within a taxon were included in the last subset. Pannel (b) shows the sequential correlation between assemblages of species richness patterns, plotted as a function of accumulated information, a measure of the overall numbers of records at all sampling plots (see Methods for details).
Figure S4. Contribution of rare and common species to overall pattern in species richness, based on data collected at apline habitat types. Panel (a) shows the sequential correlation between partial and full assemblage species richness patterns. Subsets of species were assembled by ranking species by number of sampling plots occupied, starting with either the most common species (Black colour) or the rarest species (Grey colour). Successively rarer (or more common) species were added one by one to from nested subsets, until all species within a taxon were included in the last subset. Pannel (b) shows the sequential correlation between assemblages of species richness patterns, plotted as a function of accumulated information, a measure of the overall numbers of records at all sampling plots (see Methods for details).
