Extended Data Fig. 3: Effect of functional traits on tree growth.

Data were standardized to enable comparisons among sites (see Methods). Linear regressions were fitted (level of confidence of the error band = 0.95) by latitudinal class (limit values = 23° and 45°). P values of correlations are symbolized as follows: *** (P < 0.001), ** (P < 0.010), * (P < 0.050), (*) (P < 0.100), ns (P ≥ 0.100). For the scope of readability, a regression line and its data points are not presented together when several lines are shown in a given panel.
