...Alternatively, lower fungal richness could be related to the disproportionately strong shifts in biomes during the Pleistocene, which impoverished the African flora (18)....

...To determine the relationship between plant and fungal richness, we relied on co-kriging values from the global vascular plant species richness data set (18), which covered 96....

...We expected a positive effect of ambient energy, measured as mean PET, as previous studies have found topographic EH to be much more important for mammal and plant species richness in high than in low energy regions (Kerr & Packer 1997; Kreft & Jetz 2007)....

...…energy, water availability and productivity, area, biotic interactions and environmental heterogeneity, and factors related to historical processes such as phylogenetic niche conservatism and geological or climatic history (Currie 1991; Hawkins et al. 2003; Kreft & Jetz 2007; Field et al. 2009)....

...(2) The effect of EH is stronger in regions with higher energy availability, where energy is not a limiting factor of species richness (Kerr & Packer 1997; Kreft & Jetz 2007)....
