Response consistency of six PFTs which are good (specific) indicators for grazing pressure at least in one biome.

aPFTs with a sensitive response to grazing had a significant contribution of the grazing-related PC to their final linear models, but other predictor variables had larger effect sizes. PFTs with a specific response to grazing also had a sensitive response, but responded stronger to grazing than to other predictor variables (largest effect size for the grazing-related PC). Insensitive PFTs had a non-significant contribution of grazing-related PC to their final linear models. Arrows indicate the direction of response (↑ positive response to increased grazing pressure, ↓negative response). For details of final linear models refer to Tables S2 and S3.
