Extended Data Fig. 3: Single functional trait-dependent relationships between tree growth and herbivory.

Relationships between relative tree growth rate and herbivory for tree species grouped by mean values of (a) SLA, (b) LDMC, (c) leaf N content, (d) leaf C:N ratio and (e) leaf habit. Fitted lines are shown for individual functional traits within discrete ranges of trait values of study species. Darker colors of fitted lines indicates higher mean trait values. In panel (e), the light line indicates deciduous species and the dark line indicates evergreen species.
