Leaves of eight Quercus species under simulated wind load.

Phylogenetic relationships among eight Quercus species.
Table 1.
Leaf morphology (means ±SE) of eight Quercus species under simulated wind load (n = 3).
Fig 3.
The stem traits (means + SE) for eight Quercus species under simulated wind load.
(A) growth of stem height, (B) base diameter, (C) stem bending strength. The different letters in the same column meant significant difference at 0.017 (after Bonferroni correction) level (n = 3).

Biomass and percentages of biomass allocation (means ±SE) for eight Quercus species under simulated wind load (n = 3).
Fig 4.
Regressions between leaf dissection index (means + SE) and the differences in morphological index (means + SE).
Linear regressions (A) between LDI and difference in SLA (y = -4.424 x+ 11.267, R2 = 0.710), (B) between LDI and difference in stem diameter (y = 7.323 x- 45.900, R2 = 0.768), and (C) between LDI and difference in percentage of root biomass (y = -4.596 x+ 37.723, R2 = 0.927).
