†Studies were classified in either Animal or Plant kingdoms. Two studies on soil fungi, one on Lichen were excluded from categorical analyses.
‡Data were used for meta analysis (M), cumulative diversity across replicate sites in each habitat (C), or turnover in richness between riparian and upland habitats (T).
