Table 2 Mean signed deviation (MSD) and p values of paired t test (between brackets) between measured heights and estimated heights by the local model, NLME model accounting for site-specific variation, two regional models (Feldpausch et al. 2012; Banin et al. 2012), and the pan-tropical model (Chave et al. 2014)
