(IMAGE) Science China Press Caption A and B, hypervolumes constructed from the first three PCA axes from all five traits (leaf area, specific leaf area, carbon content, nitrogen content, and phosphorous content). Each small individual solid dot represents one functional trait space of the altitude, and the mean values of each altitude are indicated by large solid dots. Regression lines are shown for each mountain. C, predicted means and standard errors based on linear mixed models. Different colors indicate three different mountains. Green represents Xishuangbanna, orange represents Ailaoshan and blue represents Lijiang. MAT means mean annual temperature. Credit ©Science China Press Usage Restrictions Use with credit.
