Description
Figure 2. Final structural equation model (SEM) showing (A) significant pathways (arrows) linking environmental drivers (blue), soil fauna community traits (green), and soil function (gold). Arrow thickness reflects standardized effect size; red arrows represent negative relationships. Residual correlation (dashed red arrow) indicates an unmodelled, but significant association and the dashed black arrow indicates a partially mediation pathway from T² to CWMBM via Collembola CWMBM. The full SEM and mediation analysis are presented in Table S2 and Table S3 of the supplementary material, respectively. Sensitivity analysis of the SEM in (B) shows the impact of removing individual paths or effects on the explained variance (R²) of litter loss (gold) and CWMBM (green) (also see Table S4).
