Comparisons of total non-structural carbohydrate (NSC) concentrations in three different organs for 12 studied angiosperm and conifer species after the light manipulation phase and before the drought treatment. Light-exposed (blue) and shaded (red) individuals of each species are shown. Boxes and bars show the median, quartiles, and extreme values. Dots are individual data points. Significant differences between light treatments are indicated: *p ≤ 0.05; **p ≤ 0.01. See Appendix Tables 2, 3 and 4 for additional statistics comparing NSC levels of different light treatments and across plant organs
