*2.4. Growth Height Assignment*

Plants with species- or genus-level identification were assigned a growth height category based on the "plant growth form" data in the relevant overview page for each plant species from the Encyclopedia of Life [46]. Plants were binned into the following categories with the maximum height listed: Shrub (6 m), Understory tree (Tree 15 m, Tree 20 m, Tree 25 m), and Canopy Tree (Tree 30 m, Tree 40 m, Tree 70 m). In one case (genus *Ocotea*), genus-level identification was included because all species in that genus fell in the same growth category.
