PFF
A data frame with 137 rows and 20 variables:
Plant family
Plant species
Canopy height (cm)
Leaf area (mm^2)
Leaf dry matter content (%)
Specific leaf area (mm^2/mg)
Specific root length (m/g)
Seed mass (mg)
mean Flowering date (Julian day)
mean Flowering duration (days)
decomposition decay constant, where proportion of original mass remaining = exp(- k-value*0.926)
Leaf carbon content (% dry mass)
Leaf nitrogen content (% dry mass)
Leaf carbon to nitrogen ratio
Leaf phosphorus content (% dry mass)
Leaf nitrogen to phosphorus ratio
Leaf carbon to phosphorus ratio
Root carbon content (% dry mass)
Root nitrogen content (% dry mass)
Root carbon to nitrogen ratio
This dataset contains measurements of a core set of functional traits that reflect aspects of each species' ability to disperse, establish, acquire water and nutrients, and photosynthesize. Traits include specific leaf area (SLA), height, seed mass, specific root length (SRL), leaf and fine root nitrogen concentration, leaf phosphorus concentration, and leaf dry matter content (LDMC). Julian flowering date and flowering duration were also obtained for each species. Leaf litter decomposition rates were measured on 103 species.
