LMA  =  leaf mass per unit area.

LDMC  =  leaf dry matter content.

Values are Pearson correlation coefficients. All trait data were corrected for variation in tree size (see Methods) and log10-transformed before analysis. Correlations in bold are significant at α = 0.05 after Bonferroni-Holm correction for the number of tests.
