From: Soil properties explain tree growth and mortality, but not biomass, across phosphorus-depleted tropical forests

Figure 6

(a) Aboveground biomass (t ha−1), (b) tree growth rate (mm yr−1) for trees >10 cm diameter, and (c) tree mortality rates for trees >10 cm diameter from nine 1 ha forest plots across French Guiana plotted against soil total phosphorus concentrations in the top 0–15 cm of the soil. Blue lines are linear model fits and grey areas are 95% confidence intervals. In (a) there is no significant fit (p = 0.1676) so no fit is shown. One extra site is included in (a) because one year of aboveground biomass data was available, however multi-year dynamic growth and mortality rates were not available.
