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 I. Mean basal area increment at the site level for individual species.
Fig. I1. Site-mean basal area increment for individual species as a function of soil resources. Growth was positively related to P, Ca, and K, but negatively related to NO3, NH4, and Mg. For species with growth related to more than one resource, the same symbol and line type are used in all relevant panels. See Table D6 for model parameters and goodness of fit assessment. Uncertainty associated with estimating resource availability is presented in Fig. I2–I10.
Fig. I2. Predicted individual diameter growth based on 101 estimated soil resource datasets plotted against total soil P (b, d) for the Arecaceae. Total soil P explained 7.9% total growth variance for subcanopy (>) species, and 6.0% total growth variance for treelet and understory species (<).
Fig. I3. Predicted diameter growth based on 101 estimated soil resource datasets plotted as a function of total soil P for species with lowest wood density (0.2–0.4 g cm-3).
Fig. I4. Predicted individual diameter growth (a, c, e, f) based on 101 estimated soil resource datasets plotted as a function of the most strongly related soil resource for single species in which resources explained more than 4% of total growth variance.
