Table 1 Description of the plant material used for this study. Ncontrol, number of individuals used as a control; Ntilted, number of plants used for tilting; Ntot, total number of plants; Growth monitoring period; Harvesting time; D0, mean diameter at tilting day (± standard deviation); H0, mean height at tilting day (± standard deviation); posture control mechanism

From: Influence of mechanical stress on biomass allocation in three species (Pachira aquatica Aubl., Sextonia rubra (Mez) van der Werff and Simarouba amara Aubl.) with contrasting posture control mechanisms
