Extended Data Fig. 9: Relationship between published pan-Amazonian species-level growth rates37 and hydraulic safety margins.
From: Basin-wide variation in tree hydraulic safety margins predicts the carbon balance of Amazon forests
We restrict our analysis to the western Amazon, where there is the highest overlap of species between ours and Coelho de Souza et al.37 dataset and to avoid biases due to soil/forest dynamic differences across Amazonian regions. Hydraulic safety margins for species occurring across multiple sites were averaged to yield one value per species.
