Fig. 3: Geographic distribution of the trait associations of forest communities.
From: Mapping multi-dimensional variability in water stress strategies across temperate forests

There were 12,452 forest communities used in our analysis. The arrows indicate the trait associations of a conservative (Conse) to acquisitive (Acqui) and b Isohydric (Isohy) to Anisohydric (Aniso) separately. The principal component (PC) scores were calculated using the PCA coordinates in the main two components (Fig. 2a) to obtain the eigenvalue for each community.
