DATA
This is a curated selection of external available data for ecology
AusTraits, a curated plant trait database for the Australian flora
AusTraits synthesises data on 448 traits across 28,640 taxa from field campaigns, published literature, taxonomic monographs, and individual taxon descriptions. Traits vary in scope from physiological measures of performance (e.g. photosynthetic gas exchange, water-use efficiency) to morphological attributes (e.g. leaf area, seed mass, plant height) which link to aspects of ecological variation.
FLAMITS: A global database of plant flammability traits
Open access global database on plant flammability traits measured under laboratory conditions aiming to: (a) identify the diversity of methodologies to measure plant flammability under laboratory conditions; (b) standardize the associated terminology; and (c) find geographical, ecological, and taxonomic gaps in our knowledge on plant flammability.
FunAndes: A functional trait database of Andean plants
FunAndes contains data on 24 traits across 2,694 taxa, for a total of 105,466 entries. The database features plant-morphological attributes including growth form, and leaf, stem, and wood traits measured at the species or individual level, together with geographic metadata (i.e., coordinates and elevation).
Global Inventory of Floras and Traits (GIFT)
The Global Inventory of Floras and Traits - GIFT database is a global archive of regional plant checklists and floras and plant functional traits. It contains information about the floristic status of 368,580 species across 3,627 geographic regions. Functional trait information is available for 287,245 species and 109 traits
Global Naturalized Alien Flora
GloNAF (Global Naturalized Alien Flora) is a living database project about naturalized alien plant species and became a synonym for many related projects dealing with all kinds of scientific and policy relevant questions and studies about alien species (also other taxa) and related data.
