Comparison of the output of analysis of LMF and allometry for the Deschamspia flexuosa plants grown at a low or high-nutrient supply, and the number of plants in the respective analysis.

	Low-N	High-N	P
LMF (plants in 10–30 mg range)	0.444	0.504	***
No. of plants in 10–30 mg range	30	20
LMF (plants in 30–100 mg range)	0.369	0.491	***
No. of plants in 30–100 mg range	73	31
LMF (plants in 100–300 mg range)	0.333	0.472	***
No. of plants in 100–300 mg range	48	48
Log(α)	0.077	0.059	ns
β	0.811	0.945	*

Significance values: *: P < 0.05; ***: P < 0.001. Note that the R module used to test the difference in β in the standard major axis analysis (lmodel2) only provides 95% confidence intervals.
