TRY plant trait database : Enhanced coverage and open access

Jens Kattge, +754 more
TL;DR: The extent of the trait data compiled in TRY is evaluated and emerging patterns of data coverage and representativeness are analyzed to conclude that reducing data gaps and biases in the TRY database remains a key challenge and requires a coordinated approach to data mobilization and trait measurements.
Journal ArticleDOI

Urban forest resilience through tree selection—Variation in drought tolerance in Acer

TL;DR: In this article, a linear relationship between the osmotic potential at full turgor ( Ψ π 100 ) and Ψ P 0 was calculated for 27 maple (A. rubrum) and Acer x freemanii (Autumn Blaze) genotypes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Improving confidence in tree species selection for challenging urban sites: a role for leaf turgor loss

TL;DR: This study demonstrates that ΨP0 gives strong evidence for a species’ capacity to tolerate dry growing conditions and is a trait that varies substantially across species, which should give those specifying trees confidence to recommend non-traditional species for challenging urban environments.
Journal ArticleDOI

Branch Area Index of Solitary Trees: Understanding Its Significance in Regulating Ecosystem Services

TL;DR: Investigation of how different species of solitary trees in temperate urban areas vary in their branch structure during winter by assessing branch area indices (BAIs) indicated that within the same species group differences occur between genotypes.
