Mean functional traits of riparian forest tree communities in forested catchments (Forest) and cropland catchments (Cropland) in southern Amazonia, Querência–MT, Brazil. Hmax = maximum tree height; BT = bark thickness; SSD = stem-specific density; LA = leaf area; LT = leaf thickness, SLA = specific leaf area, C = leaf carbon concentration, N = leaf nitrogen concentration, K = leaf potassium concentration, P = leaf phosphorus concentration, Ca = leaf calcium concentration, and Mg = leaf magnesium concentration. Letters indicate significant differences by Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA) at a 5% significance level.
