Distribution of values of various traits of tree species of different leaf habits in a temperate forest in Mussoorie Forest Division, Uttarakhand, Indian Himalayas (C = conifers, D = deciduous broad-leaved, E = evergreen broad-leaved): Morphological; LA = leaf area, cm2; SLA = specific leaf area, cm2 g−1; LDMC = leaf dry matter content, %; Chemical; LCC = leaf carbon content, %; LNC = leaf nitrogen content, %; LPC = leaf phosphorus content, %; Physiological; LWC = leaf water content, %; Chl = chlorophyll, mg g−1; A = photosynthetic rate, μmol CO2 m−2 s−1; Gs = stomatal conductance, mol H2O m−2 s−1; E = transpiration rate, mmol H2O m−2 s−1; Stoichiometry; Leaf C/N and Leaf N/P. The centerline indicates the median, upper and lower box heights indicate interquartile range. The alphabets within the figure represents results of post ANOVA multiple comparison by LSD. Different alphabets represents statistically different groups.
