“…To trace the path from functional traits all the way to ecosystem functioning, and evaluate species responses to environmental gradients as well as their impact on ecosystem properties, leaf and wood anatomical traits have been sampled for a subset of 400 species. So far, functional data have been the basis to assess trait variation among tree species (Nieto et al, 2017; Pulido‐Rodríguez, López‐Camacho, Torres, Velasco, & Salgado‐Negret, 2020). Further analyses will help to understand how plants cope with drought, and thereby predict TDF resilience in face of future climate change scenarios (Allen et al., 2017).…”

Societal Impact Statement Tropical dry forests (TDF) underpin the wellbeing of millions, mostly rural populations; yet have suffered from severe clearing in Colombia, triggering cascading effects such as desertification. By engaging scientists, society, and institutions in the establishment of platforms for monitoring biodiversity and ecosystem functioning, crucial knowledge gaps will be bridged, helping to find a path toward sustainable development. Science‐led but socially and economically anchored information on biodiversity will help to incorporate nature's contributions to people into the society's cultural values. Ultimately, these transformative actions will translate into the comprehensive management of TDF through a greater impact in decision making. Summary Thousands of permanent plots have been established across the tropics with the purpose of monitoring tree communities. Research outcomes from these platforms, however, have been mainly directed toward the academic community, and their contribution to society has been limited so far. Here, we show how generating robust data on biodiversity has supported decision making in Colombian tropical dry forests (TDF), where less than 8% of their original cover remains. As a first step to build a national dialogue around the critical status of this ecosystem, a national collaborative network on TDF research and monitoring was born in 2014, the Red de Investigación y Monitoreo del Bosque Seco Tropical en Colombia (Red BST‐Col). Our main goal is to generate scientifically sound information that feeds into the comprehensive management of this ecosystem. To do so, a set of biodiversity monitoring platforms has been established across the country, which have already served to answer socio‐ecological questions related with deforestation drivers, citizen science, or the valuation of ecosystem services. Overall, this research agenda has nurtured the four lines that underpin the Program for the comprehensive management of dry forests in Colombia (knowledge management, preservation, restoration, and sustainable use), formulated by the Humboldt Institute, the United Nations Development Programme, and the Ministry of Environment in 2019. Many challenges are ahead, however, for a complex territory where multiple social actors and productive sectors coexist. The ultimate goal is to integrate all the dimensions of biodiversity to achieve a synthetic understanding of the functioning of the most endangered ecosystem in Colombia, and its relationship with local communities' wellbeing.

“…En Colombia existen algunos estudios que relacionan estos o algunos de estos rasgos funcionales en ecosistemas andinos (Aldana & Stevenson, 2016;López, 2015;Montenegro & Vargas, 2008;Nieto et al, 2017;Rodríguez-Alarcón et al, 2018) y vegetación urbana (Escobedo et al, 2015;Restrepo, et al, 2013;Vásquez-Valderrama & Solorza-Bejarano, 2017), pero muchas de las especies utilizadas en estos estudios no han sido incorporadas en bases de datos globales de rasgos funcionales o de biodiversidad en general. Además, la información de rasgos funcionales para vegetación urbana o periurbana es escasa, a pesar de su gran utilidad para la toma de decisiones en la planificación de ciudades y para el diseño de estrategias de manejo, conservación y restauración desde el enfoque funcional (Laughlin et al, 2016;Salgado-Negret, 2015), orientando la selección de especies vegetales que promuevan determinados servicios ecosistémicos (Palmer et al, 2016), por ejemplo, especies que tengan un efecto potencial en la dinámica del carbono en biomasa aérea en ecosistemas boscosos y vegetación urbana (Conti & Díaz, 2013;Escobedo et al, 2015;Finegan et al, 2015).…”

Los rasgos funcionales de plantas pueden utilizarse para examinar estrategias en el uso de recursos, y proporcionan información sobre respuestas de las especies a condiciones ambientales y su incidencia en el funcionamiento del ecosistema. Debido a la gran variedad de plantas, las bases de datos de rasgos aún presentan vacíos de información. Proporcionamos una base de datos de rasgos funcionales de plantas maderables nativas y exóticas de áreas verdes de Bogotá, Colombia. Se incluyen cinco rasgos funcionales (densidad de la madera, altura máxima, área foliar, área foliar específica y contenido foliar de materia seca) de 508 individuos pertenecientes a 101 especies, distribuidas en 44 familias taxonómicas. La medición de rasgos funcionales se realizó en las especies arbóreas y arbustivas más abundantes determinadas de la base de datos del Arbolado Urbano de Bogotá (SIGAU), y del muestreo de vegetación en microcuencas rurales y en la Reserva Forestal Protectora Bosque Oriental de Bogotá. Este muestreo utilizó parcelas de 50 m2 (arbustales) y 100 m2 (bosques nativos y plantaciones forestales). La base de datos presentada incluye 3556 registros de rasgos de 68 especies nativas y 33 exóticas, información que permitirá comparar resultados de otros estudios y optimizar recursos, por su facilidad de acceso; también complementa bases nacionales y mundiales de rasgos funcionales, herramientas importantes en estudios ecológicos.
