Bar Plot from Scientific Research

The darkspot area (km2) that falls within each biome (A) and potential range of each host plant family (B) are shown at both the global level and within each continent. The top five biomes and top 10 host families are shown for each continent. Only plant genera classified as EcM host plants were included when calculating host plant family distributions, but both native and introduced ranges are included (see Supplemental information). Three biomes (tropical dry forests, flooded grasslands, and mangroves) were excluded due to them being inadequately represented (10 samples or less) in the training data used to build the dark taxa richness models. A map of darkspot regions is provided inFigure S4, and maps of host plant ranges inFigure S5. Trop. = tropical; temp. = temperate; broad. = broadleaf; grass. = grasslands; shrub. = shrublands.
