Relationship between foliar nitrogen concentration (Narea) and parameters of physiological photosynthetic capacity (Amax, Vcmax and Jmax) of Q. spinosa (upward triangles), S. atopantha (circles) and R. dentatus (squares) grown at high elevations of 2500 m (open symbols) and 3500 m (filled symbols) a.s.l. Quercus spinosa: (A) Amax versus Narea (regression R2 = 0.285, F1,45 = 3.195, P = 0.112); (D) Vcmax versus Narea (regression R2 = 0.394, F1,45 = 5.197, P = 0.0521) and (G) Jmax versus Narea (regression R2 = 0.310, F1,45 = 3.589, P = 0.0948). Salix atopantha: (B) Amax versus Narea (regression R2 = 0.633, F1,45 = 17.216, P = 0.00198); (E) Vcmax versus Narea (regression R2 = 0.604, F1,45 = 15.260, P = 0.00293) and (H) Jmax versus Narea (regression R2 = 0.550, F1,45 = 12.236, P = 0.00575). Rumex dentatus: (C) Amax versus Narea (regression R2 = 0.919, F1,45 = 113.380, P = 8.914 × 10−07); (F) Vcmax versus Narea (regression R2 = 0.639, F1,45 = 17.7124, P = 0.00180) and (I) Jmax versus Narea (regression R2 = 0.596, F1,45 = 14.733, P = 0.00327).
