Observed and fitted growth variability according to species maximum growth.

<p>Variance of observed growth within each species according to species maximum growth (A).Proportion of this intraspecific variability captured by the model for each species (R_i²) according to species maximum growth (B). The lines represent fitted relationships with a power (A) and a linear function (B).</p

Predicted species growth response shapes and amplitudes to competition, tree size and aspect.

<p>Predicted growth at standardized conditions with respect to competition (A), tree size (B) and aspect (C), i.e. with the other covariates fixed at their observed means. The 6 most abundant species are in bold in top panels. Bottom panels represent the distribution of species signed sensitivity to covariates, as defined in section Analysis.</p

Species absolute and relative sensitivities to competition and tree size according to species maximum growth.

<p>Species growth sensitivity to competition (A) and tree size (B) with respect to species maximum growth. Sensitivity was estimated as the range of predicted diameter increments (as defined in Materials and Methods). In top panels, sensitivity is considered in absolute values (i.e., in cm.yr⁻¹), while in bottom panels it is given in proportion of maximum predicted growth (in %).</p
