Predicting Changes in Macrophyte Community Structure from Functional Traits in a Freshwater Lake: A Test of Maximum Entropy Model.

Discussion We found highly significant associations between observed relative abundance and plant traits using as few as two traits, > 60% of the variation in relative abundances could be predicted with as few as six traits, and essentially all of the observed variation in relative abundances was captured using all 16 traits.

Significant trends of λ-values (without standardizing) along water depth gradient were detected for tuber ( Fig 3e ) and leaf nitrogen content ( Fig 3g ), while marginally significant effects of water depth on λ-values were detected for rooting depth ( Fig 3d ), stem diameter ( Fig 3h ), leaf dry mass content ( Fig 3j ) and shoot height ( Fig 3o ).
