By integrating biological survey data with historical climate records, the aim is to identify how temperature changes in a habitat influence ecological resilience.
The probability of high species abundance peaks slightly below the historical average temperature (near 0°C anomaly). As conditions get significantly warmer (positive anomaly) or cooler (negative anomaly) than the historical norm, the probability of high abundance drops. The decline is notably steeper as temperatures get warmer, supporting the text that the direction of temperature anomaly matters.
The distinct patterns in each subplot demonstrate that different habitats have unique historical reactions to temperature changes. Each chart plots "Relative Abundance" (green line) against "Temperature Anomaly" (red dashed line) over several decades.
