  1. The residual df is 415. YR, year; ST, site; SS, season; SP, species; SLA, specific leaf area; LDMC, leaf dry matter content; LNC, leaf nitrogen concentration; LPC, leaf phosphorus concentration; Chl, chlorophyll concentration; Gsnet (= Gsmass, mass-based stomatal conductance); Anet (= Amass, mass-based photosynthetic rate); RGR, relative growth rate. **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001
