Mean trait values for 12 North-American temperate forest species grown in a common garden.
Traits include belowground specific root length (SRL), diameter (D) and branching intensity (BI) as well as whole-plant life-strategy measures (i.e., relative growth rate—RGR). Fine root traits were measured on first three root orders (subscript “3”). Different letters indicate significant differences between species. Angiosperms are underlined in gray.
