The study suggests that Variations in crown architectural traits play crucial roles in mediating the positive effects of #treediversity on tree crown complementarity and canopy packing.

Effects of tree species richness (a) and functional diversity (b) on crown complementarity and canopy packing through variations of architecture traits. The chi-square test (χ2; P > 0.05) represents the absence of discrepancy between the data and the fitted model. The pink and black lines indicate a negative and positive association, respectively, between the two variables. Arrows with numbers indicate the standardized associations of predictors with dependent variables. Significance levels were assigned as follows (***P < 0.001; **P < 0.01; *P < 0.05). The insignificant paths are indicated as dotted lines (P > 0.05). CV, the coefficient of variation.
