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

The LEDA Traitbase: A database of life-history traits of the Northwest European flora

Michael Kleyer, +38 more
- 01 Nov 2008 - 
TL;DR: The LEDA Traitbase is useful for large-scale analyses of functional responses of communities to environmental change, effects of community trait composition on ecosystem properties and patterns of rarity and invasiveness, as well as linkages between traits as expressions of fundamental trade-offs in plants.
Journal ArticleDOI

Alien species in a warmer world: risks and opportunities

Gian-Reto Walther, +30 more
- 01 Dec 2009 - 
TL;DR: It is emphasised that global warming has enabled alien species to expand into regions in which they previously could not survive and reproduce and management practices regarding the occurrence of 'new' species could range from complete eradication to tolerance.
Journal ArticleDOI

A global analysis of the impacts of urbanization on bird and plant diversity reveals key anthropogenic drivers

Myla F. J. Aronson, +25 more
- 07 Apr 2014 - 
TL;DR: It is found that the majority of urban bird and plant species are native in the world's cities, with the most common being Columba livia and Poa annua and few plants and birds are cosmopolitan.
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.
