  1. Explanations: FR Frequency on root plates, FP Frequency on pits, FM Frequency on mounds; we obtained the frequency by dividing the number of species records by the number of R, P, or M and multiplied by 100%. AR abundance on root plates, AP abundance on pits, AM abundance on mounds; 0 cover means value <0.01%; o orthotropic, pl plagiotropic, c colonist, cp pioneer colonists, d dominant, f fugitives, l long-lived shuttle, p perennials, pc competitive perennials, ps stress-tolerant perennials, s short-lived shuttle
