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

Plant functional traits have globally consistent effects on competition

Georges Kunstler, +39 more
- 14 Jan 2016 - 
TL;DR: Traits generate trade-offs between performance with competition versus performance without competition, a fundamental ingredient in the classical hypothesis that the coexistence of plant species is enabled via differentiation in their successional strategies.
Journal ArticleDOI

BAAD: a Biomass And Allometry Database for woody plants

Daniel S. Falster, +96 more
- 01 May 2015 - 
TL;DR: The Biomass And Allometry Database (BAAD) as discussed by the authors is a large-scale dataset for woody plants that contains 259, 634 measurements collected in 176 different studies, from 21,084 individuals across 678 species.
Journal ArticleDOI

Architectural differences associated with adult stature and wood density in 30 temperate tree species

Masahiro Aiba, +1 more
- 01 Oct 2008 - 
TL;DR: The hypothesis that the architecture of short or shade-tolerant species is optimized for light capture and mechanical stability, whereas that of tall or light-demanding species is optimization for height growth is supported.
Journal ArticleDOI

Efficacy of generic allometric equations for estimating biomass: a test in Japanese natural forests.

Masae Iwamoto Ishihara, +10 more
- 01 Jul 2015 - 
TL;DR: Generic allometric equations for aboveground biomass and component (stem, branch, leaf, and root) biomass are developed using large, compiled data sets of 1203 harvested trees belonging to 102 species from 70 boreal, temperate, and subtropical natural forests in Japan.
