Figure 3
Pipe and qPipe model allometries for the leaf area (LA) obtained using GLMMs: (a) ACB–LA relationship of the pipe model and (b) ACB_Est–LA relationship of the qPipe model. In both cases, models including the PFT as a fixed effect were not selected, such that a single allometric line and its 95% prediction intervals for log-transformed values of LA are drawn by pooling all data of the PFTs. Species are designated as the random effect for the elevation of the regression line. See Table 1 for coefficients of each allometric equation, Table 2 for the coefficients of the equation approximating the 95% prediction intervals, and Supplementary Information S1 and S2 for the method of approximating the prediction intervals equations.
