Table 2. Percentages of total variation in community-weighted mean trait values due to species turnover, intraspecific variation, and their covariation.
Trait | Speciesturnover | Intraspecificvariation | Covariation |
Height | 52% | 22% | 26% |
Leaf area | 89% | 7% | 4% |
SLA | 70% | 28% | 2% |
LDMC | 52% | 27% | 21% |
Positive covariation indicates that sites dominated by species with high trait values also have individuals with higher than average trait values for their species.
