Abstract
Our results suggest that plants in dwarf tropical cloud forests have decreased SLA and height, correlated with less favorable soil and atmospheric conditions, with a higher plasticity of these traits, as compared with the tropical montane evergreen forest. Community-level differences in SLA and plant height thus can be taken as indicators characterizing plant distribution to different types of tropical cloud forests.
