Posterior estimates of NPP to GPP ratio retrieved for the different crown forms of each investigated species and for each optimization strategy. For oak and hornbeam, rNppGpp estimates are presented for quantiles 2.5% (q0.025), 50% (q0.5) and 97.5% (q0.975) of their respective DdIndex distributions, while only average rNppGpp estimates are shown for beech as no significant relationship between this parameter and DdIndex was found for this species. Values for q0.025(DdIndex) are 0.7 and 1.0 for oak and hornbeam, respectively, q0.5(DdIndex) = 1.1 for the three species and q0.975(DdIndex) = 1.5 for both oak and hornbeam. Symbols represent median values of posterior estimate distributions and error bars correspond to 90% credible intervals
