How the main environmental regulators shift as karst soils become thinner

Caption

Correlation networks compare woody vegetation volume and environmental factors under low-soil-volume conditions (soil thickness <57.5 centimeters; A, B) and high-soil-volume conditions (soil thickness ≥57.5 centimeters; C, D). Under low soil volume, soil thickness and climate are more closely connected to vegetation volume, while most nutrient-concentration variables become decoupled.
