Overall dominance (Dom, average of relative frequency and relative density) of climbing plant species across the light gradient and mean values (± SE) of ecophysiological traits in mature forest (for) and canopy gaps (gap). The coefficient of variation (CV) among species for all variables is included (CV = standard deviation/mean, expressed in percentage).
