Influence of spatial scale on multisite beta diversity in Kenyan montane ecosystems. The figure illustrates how variations in spatial grain affect beta diversity patterns, with beta diversity decomposed into nestedness and turnover components contributing to overall beta diversity. The lines and shaded areas (95% confidence interval) represent the generalized linear regression model relationship between spatial grain size (x-axis) and changes in beta diversity (y-axis), with the size of each point indicating the corresponding spatial grain
