Summary of statistical tests using mixed-effects models to determine H:D allometric variation for log-transformed tree height (H, m) and mean centered diameter (D, cm) with random intercepts and slopes, plot as a random factor, and shade tolerance (not included in any of the best-fit models), angiosperm/gymnosperm (Clade), evergreen/deciduous (Phenology), and bioclimatic variables: altitude (m), mean temperature (°C × 10), mean precipitation (mm), precipitation seasonality, mean diurnal temperature range (Bio2), and isothermality (Bio3). For brevity, the best-fit model is reported for each functional or floristic group. AIC = Akaike's information criterion; n = number of tree individuals in each subsetted dataset
