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

Natural variation in cadmium tolerance and its relationship to metal hyperaccumulation for seven populations of Thlaspi caerulescens from western Europe

TL;DR: Total shoot Cd accumulated per plant was much more closely related to population Cd tolerance than Cd hyperaccumulation, indicating that metal tolerance may be the more important selection criterion in developing lines with greatest phytoremediation potential.
Journal ArticleDOI

Impacts of alien invasive plants on soil nutrients are correlated with initial site conditions in NW Europe

TL;DR: The particular site-specific pattern in the impacts that are observed provides the first evidence that alien invasive species may contribute to a homogenisation of soil conditions in invaded landscapes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic basis of Cd tolerance and hyperaccumulation in Arabidopsis halleri

TL;DR: The genetic basis of Cd tolerance and hyperaccumulation was investigated in Arabidopsis halleri and the results support that Cdolerance may be governed by more than one major gene.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mineral nutrient concentrations in sapwood and heartwood: a literature review

TL;DR: A phylo- genetic pattern is confirmed, Gymnosperms having lower mineral nutrient concentrations in wood compared to Angiosperms, most strikingly so for N, K and Mg in sapwood.
