🪴 The study found species-specific differences in how trees allocated biomass, driven by tree size, level of diversity, and whether the species was acquisitive or conservative. Acer, for example, outperformed more conservative species. (6/8)

Figure with two panels showing how much each tree species contributes to the total fine root biomass in the center of tree groups for Panel A) 2-species mixtures (2mix) and Panel B) 4-species mixtures (4mix). The species included are Acer (Ap), Tilia (Tc), Quercus (Qr), and Carpinus (Cb). For example, "ApApTc" represents an area surrounded by two Acer trees and one Tilia tree. The proportions combine data from two soil depths (0-20 cm and 20-40 cm), as no significant differences were found between them. Different letters indicate significant differences between species' contributions.

🔄 These results reveal how competition shapes allometric changes, where tree traits (leaves, stem, roots) adjust not only by size but by functional adaptation. Differentiating between active acclimation and passive changes is key. (7/8)
