Mean linear slopes in stem‐based functional composition in Amazonia

Community	Potential size (cm/year)	Water deficit affiliation (mm/year)	Wood density (g cm−3 year−1)
All community	0.01 (−0.002|0.01)	0.01 (−0.03|0.04)	−1 × 10−5 (−9 × 10−5 |6 × 10−5)
Gains (recruits)	0.07 (−0.03|0.2)	−0.45 (−0.9|−0.03)	−3 × 10−4 (−2 × 10−3|1 × 10−3)
Losses	0.1 (−0.01|0.2)	−0.1 (−0.6|0.3)	2 × 10−4 (−7 × 10−4|1 × 10−3)
Net fluxes	−0.03 (−0.2|0.1)	−0.45 (−1|0.1)	−7 × 10−4 (−2 × 10−3|8 × 10−4)

For each trait, we show the bootstrap mean annual changes in community weighted mean (CWM) and 95% confidence intervals (CI, in brackets) weighted by the product of the squared root of plot size and monitoring period. CWM is calculated using: water deficit affiliation (WDA), potential size (PS) and wood density (WD). The analyses were repeated for recruits, losses and the difference between recruits and dead trees (net fluxes). Significant trends are in bold, that is, where 95% CIs do not overlap zero.
