(a) SEM illustrating the relationships between LCC and environmental factors. The model includes key climate variables such as Maximum Temperature of the Warmest Month, TS, Precipitation of the Wettest Month (PWM), as well as soil factors including CEC, Available Potassium (AK), Silt and SOC. Black words indicate positive correlations, while red words indicate negative correlations, with the numbers representing standardized path coefficients.
Yuhan Liu et al. explored large-scale variations in #LeafConstructionCost (LCC) and their correlations with climate and soil factors by compiling a dataset comprising 442 species-site combinations.
