Spearman rank correlation coefficients (rs) for the relationship between aboveground productivity and morphological properties with FRP for the pooled data set (all six species) based on species means; ABWP, aboveground woody biomass production; SRL, specific root length; SRA, specific root area; RTD, root tissue density; MD, mean diameter; root N, fine root nitrogen concentration.
| rs | p | |
|---|---|---|
| ABWP | 0.371 | 0.469 |
| SRL | -0.257 | 0.623 |
| SRA | -0.314 | 0.544 |
| RTD | -0.371 | 0.469 |
| MD | -0.143 | 0.787 |
| Root N | 0.600 | 0.208 |
None of the relationships were significant at p < 0.05.
