Regarding non-resource stress factors, we found a more pronounced positive relationship between functional diversity and tree C accumulation in highly acidic soils (though only marginally significant), while N accumulation in the mineral horizon increased with tree functional diversity in environments with high heatwave stress, partly validating the stress-gradient hypothesis 12 .
