Inorganic P is the main P source for plants and microorganisms 35 , and its availability is linked to the desorption and dissolution for example, through oxalate exudates of P from soil minerals, and to a lesser extent, to the decomposition of organic matter In addition, DNA concentration has been recently used as a proxy of surface soil biomass 55 , In addition, as a molecule rich in N and P, DNA could be an important source of microbial nutrition Finally, plant productivity is a key ecosystem process that sustains human welfare, support belowground ecosystem functionality 17 , 59 , and plays major roles in the global carbon cycle 17 , The potential net N mineralization rate was estimated as the difference between initial and final inorganic N sum of ammonium and nitrate before and after incubation under potential conditions 60 in both data sets.
Soil phosphorus was estimated from sodium bicarbonate 61 and acid ammonium oxalate 62 extracts in the Drylands and Scotland data sets, respectively. Here, we used averaged values obtained from NDVI values for the months before, during and after sampling at each of the surveyed plots.
This index was calculated in the same way for both the Drylands and Scotland data sets. Because of the huge differences in bulk density among soil samples in the Scotland data set 0.
Bulk density information was not available for the Drylands data set, but we do not expect vast differences in bulk density among dryland ecosystems due to the mineral nature of their soils. In the Drylands data set, samples were collected in open areas and under the main vegetation; thus, all the soil variables in this data set were averaged to obtain site-level estimates by using the mean values observed in bare ground and vegetated areas, weighted by their respective cover at each site Multifunctionality is a human construct rather than a single measurable process, and involves quantifying the provision of multiple ecosystem processes and services simultaneously 63 , These include, among other, nutrient cycling for example, nutrient availability, mineralization , primary production for example, net primary productivity and organic matter decomposition for example, lignin degradation.
To obtain a quantitative multifunctionality index for each site, we first normalized log-transform when needed and standardized each of the six functions measured ammonium, nitrate, potential net N mineralization, soil phosphorus, DNA content and plant productivity using the Z -score transformation. These standardized ecosystem functions were then averaged to obtain a multifunctionality index This index is widely used in the multifunctionality literature 4 , 8 , 25 , 63 , 64 , and provides a straightforward and easy-to-interpret measure of the ability of different communities to sustain multiple functions simultaneously 4 , 8 , The multifunctionality index was independently obtained for the Drylands and Scotland data sets.
While we calculated our multifunctionality index based on the six functions that were available for both Drylands and Scotland data sets to facilitate the comparison and generalization of our results, another 11 and nine functions were available for each of these data sets, respectively. To further test whether the functions used to estimate multifunctionality could be biasing our results, we recalculated our averaging multifunctionality index including all the available functions available per data set eight and 17 for the Scotland and Drylands data sets, respectively.
Multifunctionality averaging approaches such as the index used in this manuscript do not take into account the number of functions with high performance. This entails some problems because unevenly strong functions may bias this index to high multifunctionality performance when actually only few functions maximize it might be necessary that different functions maximize at the same time to avoid potential limiting factors in the system.
Also it does not allow to see potential trade-offs between functions, which might maximize when others minimize. To solve this problem, a threshold approach was used In this technique, every function is standardized using the maximum of its value within the data set. We transformed every observation of every function into a percentage of the maximum performance of each function.
We aimed to evaluate the relationship between diversity and the number of functions which perform higher than a given threshold. Since the choice of a threshold for multiple functions is arbitrary, Byrnes et al. Each threshold represents a level of functional performance and the regressions indicate whether diversity is able to increment the number of functions working beyond that level of performance.
We plotted the resulting regressions in Supplementary Fig. These analyses were conducted using Matlab v. We conducted a classification Random Forest analysis 31 to identify which were the main predictors of multifunctionality among the following variables: distance from equator absolute latitude , altitude, MAT, MAP, soil pH and microbial diversity bacteria and fungi for drylands and bacteria for Scotland.
Although distance from equator and altitude cannot be considered true causal drivers of ecosystem attributes, they are often considered as surrogates of multiple, and unmeasured, drivers of ecosystem functioning and biodiversity In addition, we repeat these analyses including ecosystem type bog, moorland, semi-natural grassland, forest, arable and improved grassland for Scotland data set; and grassland, mixed and woodland for the Dryland data set as a predictor in our analyses.
Random Forest is a novel machine-learning algorithm that extends standard classification and regression tree CART methods by creating a collection of classification trees with binary divisions The importance of each predictor variable is determined by evaluating the decrease in prediction accuracy that is, increase in the mean square error MSE between observations and OOB predictions when the data for that predictor is randomly permuted.
This decrease is averaged over all trees to produce the final measure of importance This accuracy importance measure was computed for each tree and averaged over the forest 5, trees. These analyses were conducted using the randomForest package 67 of the R statistical software, version 3.
The significance of the model and the cross-validated R 2 were assessed with 5, permutations of the response variable ecosystem multifunctionality using the A3 R package for R ref. Similarly, the significance of the importance of each predictor on multifunctionality was assessed by using the rfPermute package for R These analyses were independently done for the Drylands and Scotland data sets.
We used SEM ref. The first step in SEM requires establishing an a priori model based on the known effects and relationships among the drivers of macro and microorganisms diversity Supplementary Fig. Some data manipulation was required before modelling. We examined the distributions of all of our endogenous variables, and tested their normality. Altitude Drylands was log-transformed to improve normality.
In addition, the diversity of fungi and bacteria were included as a composite variable microbial diversity in the Drylands data set. The use of composite variables does not alter the underlying SEM model, but collapses the effects of multiple conceptually-related variables into a single-composite effect, aiding interpretation of model results With a good model fit see below , we were free to interpret the path coefficients of the model and their associated P values. A path coefficient is analogous to the partial correlation coefficient, and describes the strength and sign of the relationship between two variables Since some of the variables introduced were not normally distributed, the probability that a path coefficient differs from zero was tested using bootstrap Bootstrapping is preferred to the classical maximum-likelihood estimation in these cases because in bootstrapping probability assessments are not based on the assumption that the data match a particular theoretical distribution.
Thus, data are randomly sampled with replacement in order to arrive at estimates of s. When these data manipulations were completed, we parameterized our model using our data set and tested its overall goodness of fit. There is no single universally accepted test of overall goodness of fit for SEM, applicable in all situations regardless of sample size or data distribution.
Furthermore, we calculated the standardized total effects of distance from equator absolute latitude , altitude, MAT, MAP, soil pH and microbial diversity bacteria and fungi for Drylands and bacteria for Scotland on multifunctionality. The net influence that one variable has upon another is calculated by summing all direct and indirect pathways between the two variables. If the model fits the data well, the total effect should approximately be the bivariate correlation coefficient for that pair of variables All these analyses were done independently for the Drylands and Scotland data sets.
It is important to notice that we used Random Forest modelling to identify the most important predictors of multifunctionality; and SEM ref. Both approaches provide complementary insights on the patterns that drive multifunctionality at a large scale. For instance, Random Forest does not rely on a priori hypotheses, which need to be established before SEM analyses, hence its results are not biased by our previous knowledge.
However, the use of SEM is particularly useful in large scale correlative studies 32 , as it allows us to partition causal influences among multiple variables, and to separate the direct and indirect effects of the predictors included in the model. Finally, while Random Forest accepts categorical predictors for example, ecosystem types , this is not the case for SEM, that require certain linearity and directionality in the predictors.
