Relationships between community-weighted mean of stomatal length (SL_mean) and precipitation of warmest quarter (a), temperature seasonality (b), temperature seasonality (c) and the first 3 principal components (d, e, f), within forests (F), grasslands (G) and all plots. PC1_score, PC2_score and PC3_score explained 62.7%, 19.7%, and 10.1% of total 19 climate variances. The green circle and yellow triangle represent forest and grassland sampling sites, respectively. All linear regressions with a confidence interval of 95% are estimated using the linear mixed model with plot nested within sites as a random factor. R2 is the marginal R2 (fixed effects only). Statistical analysis was performed using a two-sided t-test, and all results were considered significant at the p < 0.05 level. ns represents not significant.
