Median growth rates fitted by piecewise regression. Diameter increment (mm ·y ⁻¹) was power-transformed for modeling, but the rates shown here are back-transformed. The black lines are fixed effects, or the mean of species medians. The red lines are median growth rates of the ten most abundant species. Gray lines in the background show the fitted growth response for every species, and small gray points are growth rates of individual trees (appearing as gray vertical bands at each census interval). a Large trees (30–50 cm dbh), b mid-sized trees (10–15 cm dbh), and c) saplings (6–8 cm dbh)
