Table A1. Functional traits variation between the three PFTs identified
in the paramo “El Verjón”. Statistical differences from the ANOVAS and
Kruskal-Wallis test are shown next to the trait using *** for P
< 0.001, ** for P < 0.01, and * for P <
0.05. Plant functional traits that do not share a lowercase letter are
statistically different from one another as determined by post-hoc
Tukey’s and Wilcox test.
