Trait groups were defined by hierarchical clustering for traits measured in each trial year. Arrows indicate the direction of trait weightings where traits with similar weightings for PC1 on the x axes are positively correlated. PC2 on the y axes show an example of higher order PCs that contrast effects that are orthogonal to PC1 overall trait correlations.
