Thomas W. Baribault, Richard K. Kobe, and Andrew O. Finley. 2012. Tropical tree growth is correlated with soil phosphorus, potassium, and calcium, though not for legumes. Ecological Monographs 82:189–203. http://dx.doi.org/10.1890/11-1013.1
Appendix F (Table F1). Parameter estimates and R2 values for significant linear regressions of stand-level mean growth of all species (mean basal area increment (cm2 yr-1)) as a function of soil resources. Mean basal area growth was related to P, K, and Ca, but no other resources.
| Resource | R2 | Slope | Intercept |
| P | 0.958 | 1.533 (0.943, 2.123) | 5.419 (3.608, 7.230) |
| K | 0.790 | 0.080 (0.004, 0.155) | 2.203 (-5.09, 9.500) |
| Ca | 0.744 | 0.056 (-0.004, 0.117) | 3.841 (-2.74, 10.42) |
