TRY - a global database of plant traits

Jens Kattge, +136 more
TL;DR: TRY as discussed by the authors is a global database of plant traits, including morphological, anatomical, physiological, biochemical and phenological characteristics of plants and their organs, which can be used for a wide range of research from evolutionary biology, community and functional ecology to biogeography.
Journal ArticleDOI

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

Pattern and process in neotropical secondary rain forests: the first 100 years of succession

TL;DR: A longer-term view indicates that the causes of change in neotropical secondary successions are similar to those operating in temperate forests, but yields sobering conclusions for conservation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rates of change in tree communities of secondary Neotropical forests following major disturbances

TL;DR: Stem turnover rates were poor predictors of species turnover rates, particularly at longer time-intervals, and dynamic changes in basal area within stands, on the other hand, generally followed chronosequence trends.
