Chapter 6 Ontogeny and topography effects

The subsequent analysis aimed to explore variations in leaf traits according to 3 descriptors: (i) tree ontogeny, (ii) abiotic environment, and (iii) phylogeny through taxonomic levels.

6.1 Methods

We used the following model:

\[Y_{i,s} \sim \mathcal N((\alpha_s + \beta_{TWI,i} \times TWI_{i|s} + \gamma_{TWI} \times TWI_s) \times \frac{DBH_i}{\beta_{DBH,s} + DBH_i}), \sigma)\]

6.2 Results

Figure 6.1: Effect of TWI among and within species one leaf traits variation.

Sylvain:

Our dataset is robust for estimating intra- vs inter-specific variability but lack power among (N=10) and within species (N=10), resulting in no significant effect of topography on leaf trait variation among and within species.
Nevertheless, we observed as expected a significant variation of traits with ontogeny and size shown with DBH with no significant differences among species.
