TRY - a global database of plant traits

Jens Kattge, +136 more
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

Rate of tree carbon accumulation increases continuously with tree size.

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

A functional characterisation of a wide range of cover crop species: growth and nitrogen acquisition rates, leaf traits and ecological strategies.

TL;DR: Leaf functional traits, especially LA and LDMC, allowed to differentiate some cover crops strategies related to their ability to grow and acquire N, suggesting an efficient acquisitive syndrome in the former, corresponding to the high resource availability found in agrosystems.
Journal ArticleDOI

Environmental filtering of dense‐wooded species controls above‐ground biomass stored in African moist forests

TL;DR: In this paper, the relationship between above-ground biomass and soil type in undisturbed moist forests in the Central African Republic was investigated, and the effects of soil texture, as a surrogate for soil resources availability and physical constraints (soil depth and hydromorphy) on biomass was tested.
Journal ArticleDOI

Wood production response to climate change will depend critically on forest composition and structure

TL;DR: It is found that if the composition and structure of New Zealand's forests were to remain unchanged over the next 30 years, then AWP would increase by 6-23%, primarily as a result of physiological responses to warmer temperatures (with no appreciable effect of changing rainfall).
