Factors Affecting the Distribution Pattern of Wild Plants with Extremely Small Populations in Hainan Island, China

Figure 3

The relationship between eight factors and the species richness of extremely small populations (mean and standard errors).

(A), distance between populations and road (Road 1, Road 2, Road 3, and Road 4 represent rural sandstone road, rural cement road, township road, and county road, respectively); (B), different levels of surrounding population density and land use; (C), different levels of altitudes; (D), coefficient similarity values of neighboring altitudes (the numbers from 1 to 6 represent altitude ranges of 0–300 m, 300–600 m, 600–900 m, 900–1200 m, 1200–1500 m, and 1500–1800 m); (E), different levels of slope aspects; (F), different levels of slope gradients; (G), different levels of canopy density. Different Lowercase letters (a, b, c) indicate significant difference at p<0.05.
