The basal resources (leaves, detritus, algae, and roots) are at trophic level 1, and primary decomposers (fungi and bacteria) are at trophic level 2, as indicated by the icons. The 96 consumer nodes are arranged based on trophic levels (x axis) and biomass distribution across strata (y axis), with forest icons indicating belowground (soil and roots), soil surface (leaf litter), and aboveground (canopy) strata. Each consumer node is abbreviated (with two to four letters) to represent their broad groups, with main resources indicated with capital letters: H (roots/leaves), A (algae), D (detritus), B (bacteria), F (fungi), P (predation on animals), and O (more than two resources). Abbreviation details are in the MyDiv database.43Link width and darkness indicate feeding preferences (solid line: >5%; dashed line: 2%5%), and link colors represent interaction types: green (herbivory/algivory), earthy brown (detritivory), chocolate brown (fungivory), yellow (bacterivory), and red (predation). Icons were generated fromBioRender.com.
