Ricardo M. Holdo, Jesse B. Nippert. 2015. Transpiration dynamics support resource partitioning in African savanna trees and grasses. Ecology 96:1466–1472. http://dx.doi.org/10.1890/14-1986.1

Appendix D. A table showing lasso regression coefficients and model fits.

Table D1. Lasso regression coefficients and model fits for two sets of models (soil moisture variables only and weather + soil moisture variables) relating environmental variables to transpiration metrics (rescaled sap flow in trees and –Tc and –ΔT in grasses).
