Differentiation in stem and leaf traits among sympatric lianas, scandent shrubs and trees in a subalpine cold temperate forest.

K t and D h showed highly significant positive relationships ( R 2 = 0.87, P < 0.001), with a single slope and intercept across the three growth forms, but lianas showed a shift towards higher values for both traits ( P < 0.001).

After phylogenetic correction, differences in LD, C and P became marginally significant, and only the difference in SLA became nonsignificant among three growth forms (see Table S2 available as Supplementary data at Tree Physiology Online).
