Fig. 3

Plant trait networks (PTNs) of Malus sieversii for treatment with N, P, and N + P. Nodes indicate different twig traits, and node size indicates the degree. Red and blue lines indicate positive and negative correlations, respectively. Circles with black borders represent the key trait. The width of the line indicates the strength of the association. L: Length; BD: basal diameter; LA: leaf area; LN: leaf number; TM: twig mass; TBM: total blade mass; TPM: total petiole mass; SM: stem mass; TLA: total leaf area; TLM: total leaf mass; SPM: single petiole mass; SBM: single blade mass; SLM: single leaf mass; SLA: specific leaf area; LI: leaf intensity; LAR: leaf area ratio; LAMR: leaf area-to-stem mass ratio. The topological properties of the network and the characteristics of the node (trait) are shown in Tables S1 and S2. N20Px: N20P2, N20P4, and N20p8; NxP4: N10P4, N20P4, and N40P4
