The study site: the Jianfengling Forest Reserve (JFL) of Hainan Island, China. Hainan Island is a small continental island off the south-eastern coast of China, shown in the red box of the inset map. The 47,200-ha JFL boundary is shown in red. The 6.6-km transect of where functional traits of saplings were sampled is shown in black (see Fig. 6 for a topographic map and an elevational profile of the transect). The first half of the transect is in secondary forest with a history of logging with and estimated forest age of about 50 years, and the second half of the transect is in unlogged, primary forest
