Table 2 Result of analysis of deviance for the effect of site and relative LMA on leaf weight, branch weight, shoot weight, shoot length, leaf number per shoot, individual leaf area, total leaf area per shoot, Rubisco, chlorophyll, total phenolics, condensed tannin, leaf density, leaf thickness, herbivory rate, Nmass and Pmass of Q. serrata grown in FM Tamakyuryo in July 2018 and FM Chichibu in August 2018.

From: Distributions of photosynthetic traits, shoot growth, and anti-herbivory defence within a canopy of Quercus serrata in different soil nutrient conditions
