Table 3.
Pearson’s correlation coefficients (r) between eight developmental traits based on trait BLUEs across nitrogen levels. Shaded values are cross-correlations between locations; values below this diagonal (i.e. bottom-left) are calculated separately for Halle and values above the diagonal (i.e. top-right) are calculated separately for Dundee
