Table 2.

Hierarchical variance components for the functional traits of the deciduous species at evergreen broadleaved forest of Gongga Mountain (ANOVA type I sums of squares, converted to percentages at each level)

Component Species Individuals within species Twigs within individuals
Twig mass 62·4 24·4 13·2
Stem mass 59·3 24·3 16·4
Total leaf area 60·9 25·5 13·6
Total leaf mass 62·2 24·2 13·6

All data were log transformed prior to analysis. The residual variance is assumed to be the variance between twigs.
