Relative importance of abiotic and biotic variables on two community-level (i.e. community-weighed mean [CWM]) plant functional traits: (a) the specific leaf area (SLA), (b) the leaf dry matter content (LDMC) and (c) the leaf thickness (LT).

Climate factors and island area drive leaf economic trait variation by altering plant species richness and soil properties on tropical islands.
