Table 2 Site seasonal mean and standard deviation (in parentheses) of live foliar moisture content and leaf mass area for tree, shrub, and herb functional types. These summary data were computed from 2161 individual foliage samples, comprising tree (n=529), shrub (n=867), and herb (n=765)

From: Decoupling between soil moisture and biomass drives seasonal variations in live fuel moisture across co-occurring plant functional types
