title: Contribution of trees to carbon stocks in urban–rural ecosystems: Taxonomic, phylogenetic, and functional diversity in response to bioclimatic and geographic factors

description: Supplementary Material Description

This supplementary material provides comprehensive data supporting the project “La diversidad taxonómica, filogenética y funcional de los árboles en respuesta a factores bioclimáticos y geográficos: Contribución a una gestión urbana sostenible y la salud de los ecosistemas.” The datasets and figures include structural, functional, phylogenetic, and environmental information for tree communities sampled across the urban–rural ecosystem of Sucre, Bolivia.

Figures





Figure S1 – Phylogenetic relationships: Shows the evolutionary relationships among the tree species sampled in the urban ecosystem, including branch lengths (millions of years ago), species names, and their corresponding botanical families.




Figure S2 – Functional dendrogram: Generated from the species–trait matrix using the Gower distance method (Pavoine & Bonsall, 2009) for both continuous and categorical data. UPGMA clustering was applied to group species based on functional traits.




Figure S3 – Phylogenetic alpha diversity correlation: Illustrates the correlation among different metrics of phylogenetic alpha diversity for the sampled habitats.



Tables





Table S1 – Structural and environmental characterization: Lists type of habitat, quadrant, species, genus, diameter at breast height (cm), tree height (m), latitude, longitude, elevation (m a.s.l.), temperature (°C), and precipitation (mm) for each transect sampled in the urban ecosystem.




Table S2 – Aboveground biomass (AGB) estimation: Includes habitat type, quadrant, corrected genus and species, APG family and order, wood density (WD), forest canopy height (Hfeld), individual tree biomass (AGBtree), standard deviation of WD (sdWD), standard error of canopy height (HfeldRSE), canopy tree mixture height (Hmix), standard error of mixture height (RSEmix), and total AGB (AGBsum) for each transect.




Table S3 – Evolutionary divergence: Provides a list of species and their evolutionary divergence in millions of years, derived from GBOTB.extended.TPL.tre using V.PhyloMaker2.




Table S4 – Functional traits matrix: Contains eight key functional traits for all species, including wood type, growth form, leaf type, fruit type, preferred habitat, root type, shade tolerance, and pollination type.




Table S5 – AGB model estimations: Compares three approaches for estimating aboveground biomass across habitat types:





Local model (wood density)




Latin America model (wood density + averaged height-diameter)




Adjusted model (wood density + height values and associated errors)
