Leaf functional traits and functional diversity of multistoried agroforests in West Java, Indonesia

► We studied light-dependent variations in leaf traits among 22 woody species. ► The 22 species varied greatly in their leaf traits. ► Specific leaf area and nitrogen per unit leaf mass had significant intracanopy variation in many species. ► Species in the same product-type group tended to show similar leaf traits. ► Trait diversity increased with species diversity, protecting ecosystem function.
