Journal ArticleDOI

New handbook for standardised measurement of plant functional traits worldwide

Natalia Pérez-Harguindeguy, +35 more
- 26 Apr 2013 - 
TL;DR: This new handbook has a better balance between whole-plant traits, leaf traits, root and stem traits and regenerative traits, and puts particular emphasis on traits important for predicting species’ effects on key ecosystem properties.
Journal ArticleDOI

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

The determinants of leaf turgor loss point and prediction of drought tolerance of species and biomes: a global meta‐analysis

Megan K. Bartlett, +2 more
- 01 May 2012 - 
TL;DR: New equations derived giving both π(tlp) and relative water content at turgor loss point (RWC(tlP) ) as explicit functions of osmotic potential at full turgors (π(o) ) and bulk modulus of elasticity (ε) showed that π (o) is the major driver of π-tlp .
Journal ArticleDOI

The ‘hydrology’ of leaves: co‐ordination of structure and function in temperate woody species

Lawren Sack, +3 more
- 01 Aug 2003 - 
TL;DR: For the six species, Klamina was independent of inter-related leaf traits including leaf dry mass per area, density, modulus of elasticity, osmotic potential, and cuticular conductance, but independent of other traits relating to drought tolerance and to aspects of carbon economy.
