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
- 01 Jan 2020 - 
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

Functional traits and the growth–mortality trade-off in tropical trees

S. Joseph Wright, +21 more
- 01 Dec 2010 - 
TL;DR: A trade-off between growth and mortality rates characterizes tree species in closed canopy forests and a growing consensus that seed mass, leaf mass per area, wood density, and maximum height are key traits among forest trees is agreed.
MonographDOI

Biodiversity, Ecosystem Functioning, and Human Wellbeing: An Ecological and Economic Perspective

Shahid Naeem, +4 more
TL;DR: In an age of accelerating biodiversity loss, this timely and critical volume summarizes recent advances in biodiversity-ecosystem functioning research and explores the economics of biodiversity and ecosystem services.
Journal ArticleDOI

Species loss and aboveground carbon storage in a tropical forest.

Daniel E. Bunker, +7 more
- 11 Nov 2005 - 
TL;DR: Assessment of the influence of the loss of tropical tree species on carbon storage by simulating 18 possible extinction scenarios within a well-studied 50-hectare tropical forest plot in Panama indicates that future carbon storage in tropical forests will be influenced strongly by future species composition.
