“…These traits depict major plant life strategies (Díaz et al, 2016; Westoby, 1998), correlate with many other important traits (Moles et al, 2007, 2009; Wright et al, 2004), act as both response and effect traits (Hanisch et al, 2020; Kühn et al, 2021; Pollock et al, 2012), and are well represented in open source trait databases (e.g., Kattge et al, 2020). We compiled trait data from multiple databases and online resources: LEDA (Kleyer et al, 2008), TRY (Kattge et al, 2011, 2020, accessed 1 October 2019; see Appendix S2 for references within TRY), EcoFlora (Fitter & Peat, 1994, www.ecoflora.co.uk, accessed 16 September 2021), Info Flora (www.infoflora.ch), iFlora (www.i-flora.com), Kaplan et al, 2019, Vojtkó et al (2020), World Species (worldspecies.org). We included H max measurements on vegetative and generative organs, SM measurements on dried seeds, and SLA measurements on sun and shade leaves and dry biomass.…”
