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

Leaf Maximum Photosynthetic Rate and Venation Are Linked by Hydraulics

Timothy J. Brodribb, +2 more
- 01 Aug 2007 - 
TL;DR: Sampling 43 species across the breadth of plant diversity from mosses to flowering plants, it was found that the post-vein traverse as determined by characters such as vein density, leaf thickness, and cell shape was strongly correlated with the hydraulic conductivity and maximum photosynthetic rate of foliage.
Journal ArticleDOI

Phylogenetic biome conservatism on a global scale

Michael D. Crisp, +9 more
- 09 Apr 2009 - 
TL;DR: It is shown that biome stasis at speciation has outweighed biome shifts by more than 25:1, by inferring ancestral biomes for an ecologically diverse sample of more than 11,000 plant species from around the Southern Hemisphere.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sensitivity of leaf size and shape to climate: Global patterns and paleoclimatic applications

Daniel J. Peppe, +27 more
- 01 May 2011 - 
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the inclusion of additional leaf traits that are functionally linked to climate improves paleoclimate reconstructions and illustrates the need for better understanding of the impact of phylogeny and leaf habit on leaf-climate relationships.
Journal ArticleDOI

Testing the Impact of Calibration on Molecular Divergence Times Using a Fossil-Rich Group: The Case of Nothofagus (Fagales)

Hervé Sauquet, +15 more
- 01 Mar 2012 - 
TL;DR: It is suggested that increased background research should be made at all stages of the calibration process to reduce errors wherever possible, from verifying the geochronological data on the fossils to critical reassessment of their phylogenetic position.
