Table S1 Growth-form, Leaf-habit and seedling traits of the 53
studied woody species. Growth-form: T tree, S shrub,SS subshrub, C+Sc scrambler or climber; Leaf-habit:D deciduous, E evergreen. RGR relative growth rate
(dataset could be found in Cornelissen et al. (1996)). Majority
part of these datasets -Stem xylem area , Leaf (midvein)
xylem area , Total leaf area and Average leaf area - could
be found in (Zhong et al. , 2019). The dataset of average
stomatal area could be found in (Cornelissen, Cerabolini, Castro-Díez,
Villar-Salvador, Montserrat-Martí, Puyravaud, Maestro, Werger & Aerts,
2003b). The entire dataset of this research was provided here for easy
access.
