Figure 1 Leaf structural traits of shrubs and trees within low-
and high-elevation intertidal zones. Trait abbreviations are provided in
Table 2. Statistically significant differences between shrubs and trees
are shown with asterisks (***: p < 0.001, **: p < 0.01, *: p < 0.05). n.s. = not significant.

leaf traits and plant height and diameter among 10 mangrove species in
Dongzhaigang, China. Trait abbreviations are provided in Table 2.
Figure 3 Relationships between leaf traits and plant size. The
coefficients of determination (R 2) and p are shown in each panel. The trait abbreviations are provided in Table
