Journal ArticleDOI

A standard protocol for describing individual-based and agent-based models

Volker Grimm, +27 more
- 15 Sep 2006 - 
TL;DR: A proposed standard protocol for describing IBMs and ABMs, developed and tested by 28 modellers who cover a wide range of fields within ecology, and considered as a first step for establishing a more detailed common format of the description of IBm and ABM.
Journal ArticleDOI

The global spectrum of plant form and function

Sandra Díaz, +40 more
- 14 Jan 2016 - 
TL;DR: Analysis of worldwide variation in six major traits critical to growth, survival and reproduction within the largest sample of vascular plant species ever compiled found that occupancy of six-dimensional trait space is strongly concentrated, indicating coordination and trade-offs.
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

Rate of tree carbon accumulation increases continuously with tree size.

Nathan L. Stephenson, +37 more
- 06 Mar 2014 - 
TL;DR: A global analysis of 403 tropical and temperate tree species shows that for most species mass growth rate increases continuously with tree size, which means large, old trees do not act simply as senescent carbon reservoirs but actively fix large amounts of carbon compared to smaller trees.
Journal ArticleDOI

Plant functional trait change across a warming tundra biome

Anne D. Bjorkman, +146 more
- 04 Oct 2018 - 
TL;DR: Biome-wide relationships between temperature, moisture and seven key plant functional traits across the tundra and over time show that community height increased with warming across all sites, whereas other traits lagged behind predicted rates of change.
