Extended Data Table 2 Functional trait values of major tree genus (>5% of the total basal area across all plots during the entire census) occurred from all the provinces

From: Tree diversity increases decadal forest soil carbon and nitrogen accrual

  1. Values of each species were averaged to obtain genus-level values to aid our interpretation of the results (see main text). Note that, for the analysis, we used species-level trait values but not those of the genus level (see Methods).
  2. SLA, specific leaf area; Nmass, leaf nitrogen content per leaf dry mass; Pmass, leaf phosphorus content per leaf dry mass; WD, wood density; MH, maximum height.
