Figure 4

Graphical representation of estimated effect sizes of the biotic and environmental template on microclimatic variability between species (Tvar) and on the moderating transpirational performance of trees under moist and dry conditions using the SEM framework. Circle diameters corresponds to the strength of the effect; positive relationships are color-coded in green, negative relationships in red; insignificant paths are indicated by open circles, significant paths by filled circles. The effects sizes of the indirect (via sap flow) and total effects on Tvar can be found in the supplement (Supplementary Tables S4–S6 online).
