TRAITDATABASE

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.

BROT 2.0: A functional trait database for Mediterranean Basin plants

BROT 2.0 is a database of pant functional traits for the Mediterranean Basin flora. It includes 25764 records of 44 traits from 2457 plant taxa distributed in 119 taxonomic families.

Fine Root Ecology Database

Observations of belowground plant traits, with a specific focus on fine roots

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)
