A second dimension to the leaf economics spectrum predicts edaphic habitat association in a tropical forest.

A second dimension to the leaf economics spectrum predicts edaphic habitat association in a tropical forest.

Strong patterns of habitat association are frequent among tropical forest trees and contribute to the maintenance of biodiversity. The relation of edaphic differentiation to tradeoffs among leaf functional traits is less clear, but may provide insights into mechanisms of habitat partitioning in thes...
