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

TL;DR: It is shown that woody clades successfully moved into freezing-prone environments by either possessing transport networks of small safe conduits and/or shutting down hydraulic function by dropping leaves during freezing.
Book ChapterDOI
The Evolutionary ecology of seed size
TL;DR: This chapter is concerned with the differences in seed size among species, and the consequences for vegetation dynamics and community composition.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparative ecology of seed size and dispersal
TL;DR: It remains unclear whether competition among seedlings is a decisive influence on species composition in most of the world's vegetation types, as there is startlingly wide variation in seed mass among species growing interspersed with each other.
Journal ArticleDOI
Global patterns in plant height

TL;DR: A remarkably steep relationship between latitude and height is found, indicating a major difference in plant strategy between high and low latitude systems and new, surprising information about the correlations between plant height and environmental variables is provided.
