Mass, total dry mass per plant; LA, leaf area per plant; leaf mass, total leaf dry mass per plant; leaf number, number of live leaves per plant across the 2011 growth season; total N amount per plant (unadjusted for size); tissue N concentration, amount of N per unit plant dry mass; N_dfp, amount of prey-derived N per plant; N_dfr, amount of root-derived N per plant

LA, mean area per leaf; leaf mass, mean dry mass per leaf; LMA, leaf mass per area; SLA, specific leaf area; prey capture, number of captured invertebrates per leaf
