Results of a one-way Ancova with stage of architectural development (ASD 1 and ASD 2) as main factor and relative DPF (DPFrel, %) as covariant applied to Dicorynia guianensis. F -value, level of significance (P) and coefficient of determination (r2) of the model are given. DPFrel, H, D and Jmax a were log-transformed prior to analysis. Vcmax a was analyzed with a separate slope model. D, Cm,Jmax a, Jmax/ Vcmax, Vcmax/ N and Jmax/ N were not linearly correlated with DPFreland thus they were analyzed with a one way ANOVA. Significance levels: ns, P > 0.05; *, P < 0.05; **, P < 0.01 and ***, P < 0.001. The corresponding adjusted means at 26% DPFrelare displayed in Figure and numerical values are provided in the on-line only Appendix 2.
