Appendix E. Plots of Moran’s I statistic over distance (meters) for null Generalized Additive Model (GAM), with and without smoothing for X,Y coordinates as a method to reduce spatial autocorrelation bias.
Fig. E1. Spatial autocorrelation significant (P = 0.001) for null model (orchid presence ~ 1).
Fig. E2. Spatial autocorrelation nonsignificant (P = 0.999), for null model with GAM smoothing function (orchid presence ~ s(X,Y) +1).
