Description

The Austraits Plant Dictionary (APD) offers detailed descriptions for more than 500 plant trait concepts.

APD includes trait focused on plant morphology, plant nutrient concentrations, plant physiology, plant life history, and plant fire response. The definitions will be useful to researchers from diverse disciplines, including plant functional ecology, plant taxonomy, and conservation biology. All trait concepts are supported by comprehensive metadata including trait descriptions, allowable trait values, allowable ranges, preferred units, keywords, references, and links to matches in a selection of trait databases. The traits describe here also fully support the AusTraits plant trait database, doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.3568417.
