Generally, greater carbon iso- adaptations to local environments are needed. Here we tope discrimination (Dleaf) was related to greater allocation measured, at the individual scale, links between biomass to roots. Species with high Dleaf generally showed high leaf accumulation and multiple-level tree traits: biomass parti- potential nitrogen use efficiency (PNUE), suggesting that tioning, crown morphology and leaf physiology. The study lower water use efficiency (WUE) increases the efficiency was carried out on one- and three-year-old individuals of of photosynthetically active N. Also, PNUE was negatively five tropical tree species assigned to pioneer (P) or non- correlated to leaf mass per area (LMA), implying that pioneer (NP) functional groups. Among the species, Ced- photosynthetically active N is diluted as total leaf mass rela odorata, Luehea seemannii and Hura crepitans increases. Finally, no distinction in measured traits, showed the greatest biomass accumulation. On our sea- including biomass accumulation, was observed between sonally dry site, species performance during the first year the two functional gr
