Our results provide essential tools to understand how the environment can modulate morphofunctional traits, and how each species makes different adjustments to adapt to different phytophysiognomies. In this sense, knowledge of these species reveals new species-specific responses in the tropical forest, which is a fundamental prerequisite for predictions about the development of the most vulnerable forests in a future of climate change.
