Description

Code and data files for :

Climatic and evolutionary contexts are required to infer plant life history strategies from functional traits at a global scale, Ecology Letters, 2021, in press..

By: Ruth Kelly, Kevin Healy, Madhur Anand, Maude Baudraz, Michael Bahn, Bruno E. L. Cerabolini, Johannes H. C. Cornelissen, John M. Dwyer, Andrew L. Jackson, Jens Kattge, Ülo Niinemets, Josep Penuelas, Simon Pierce, Roberto Salguero-Gómez, & Yvonne M. Buckley

Code and analysis are described in detail in the main text and supplementary materials of the associated Ecology Letters paper. If you have any questions regarding the R code files you may contact Ruth Kelly at kellyr44@tcd.ie or ruth.kelly@afbini.gov.uk.

Data provided herein, represent a derived compilation from multiple data sources, and are primarily provided for transparency and reproducibility of our analyses. The databases we took our original data from are constantly growing and being updated. Therefore, if you want to do further more detailed research in this area we refer you to the following data sources which were invaluable to us. Please cite these original data sources alongside our Ecology Letters paper if you use our compiled dataset in any publication. Further references to trait data used in the compilation of our dataset are given in supplementary information accompanying the main paper.
