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

Global trait–environment relationships of plant communities

Helge Bruelheide, +118 more
- 19 Nov 2018 - 
TL;DR: It is shown that global trait composition is captured by two main dimensions that are only weakly related to macro-environmental drivers, which reflect the trade-offs at the species level but are weakly associated with climate and soil conditions at the global scale.
Journal ArticleDOI

sPlot – A new tool for global vegetation analyses

Helge Bruelheide, +184 more
- 08 Apr 2019 - 
TL;DR: The sPlot database as mentioned in this paper contains 1,121,244 vegetation plots, which comprise 23,586,216 records of plant species and their relative cover or abundance in plots collected worldwide between 1885 and 2015.
Journal ArticleDOI

A study of climate change and anthropogenic impacts in West Africa.

Rüdiger Wittig, +3 more
- 31 Jul 2007 - 
TL;DR: Data is presented on changes of precipitation, of land use, of the geographical range of species, and of the composition of the flora, which have to be regarded as proofs of the sahelisation of large areas of the Sudanian zone.
Journal ArticleDOI

Herbarium collections and field data‐based plant diversity maps for Burkina Faso

Marco Schmidt, +3 more
- 01 Nov 2005 - 
TL;DR: A map of plant species diversity in Burkina Faso is presented in this paper based on field observations and specimen data from the Ouagadougou University Herbarium (OUA) and the HERbarium Senckenbergianum (FR).
