Relations between mean annual NPP (10-yr average of Modis) and “anthropogenic species richness”, which is the number of presently existing vascular plant species per grid cell of ~ 7800 km2 (Ellis et al. 2012), including effects of human land use and land use change. The dots show 10 species averages along the x-axis, and the 0.1 (green), 0.5 (blue) and 0.9 (brown) percentiles along the NPP y-axis. The closed lines show the cumulative number of species as fraction of total species number (green line), and the cumulative NPP as fraction of total global NPP (yellow line)
