TRY plant trait database : Enhanced coverage and open access

Jens Kattge, +754 more
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

A global meta-analysis of the relative extent of intraspecific trait variation in plant communities

Andrew Siefert, +51 more
- 01 Dec 2015 - 
TL;DR: This paper conducted a meta-analysis of the relative extent of ITV within and among plant communities worldwide, using a data set encompassing 629 communities (plots) and 36 functional traits.
Journal ArticleDOI

Increasing crop heterogeneity enhances multitrophic diversity across agricultural regions

Clélia Sirami, +57 more
TL;DR: This study provides large-scale, multitrophic, cross-regional evidence that increasing crop heterogeneity can be an effective way to increase biodiversity in agricultural landscapes without taking land out of agricultural production.
Journal ArticleDOI

Functional trait diversity maximizes ecosystem multifunctionality.

TL;DR: A scaling relationship is uncovered between the abundance distribution of two key plant functional traits and multifunctionality in 124 dryland plant communities spread over all continents except Antarctica, which quantifies how much trait diversity is required to maximize multifunctionsality locally.
