Are Commonly Measured Functional Traits Involved in Tropical Tree Responses to Climate?
Table 1
Functional traits used in the study, their role in tree functional strategy [20], the range of values represented by the 53 species in this study, the range of values for tree species of French Guiana [20], and associations between functional traits and expected growth response to water availability reported in the literature.
