Towards a worldwide wood economics spectrum

Jérôme Chave, +6 more
- 01 Apr 2009 - 
TL;DR: It is suggested that, similar to the manifold that tree species leaf traits cluster around the 'leaf economics spectrum', a similar 'wood economics spectrum' may be defined.
Journal ArticleDOI

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

Global convergence in the vulnerability of forests to drought

Brendan Choat, +25 more
- 29 Nov 2012 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the authors draw together published and unpublished data on the vulnerability of the transport system to drought-induced embolism for a large number of woody species, with a view to examining the likely consequences of climate change for forest biomes.
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

Structure and function of bordered pits: new discoveries and impacts on whole-plant hydraulic function

Brendan Choat, +2 more
- 01 Feb 2008 - 
TL;DR: The impact of variation in pit structure on water transport in plants from the level of individual pits to the whole plant is addressed, indicating that pits are an important factor in the overall hydraulic efficiency of plants.
