Different functional tree seedlings ➡️ precipitation changes

Objects:
Cassia siamea (Cs) -- nitrogen (N)-fixing
Syzygium  hancei (Sh)-- non-N-fixing species

#PrecipitationPattern:
wetter wet season (WW)
delayed wet season (DW)

Results:
Cs ➡️ #Non_structuralCarbohydrate (NSC) allocation among different organs;
Sh ➡️ NSC contents.
