Wel­come to the TRY Ini­tia­tive on Plant Traits

Quan­ti­fy­ing and scal­ing global plant trait diversity

A net­work of veg­e­ta­tion sci­en­tists jointly headed by
DIVERSITAS, IGBP and the Max Planck Insti­tute for Bio­geo­chem­istry

Main objec­tives:

  • Con­struc­tion of a global data­base of plant func­tional traits
  • Make the data avail­able for the eco­log­i­cal community
  • Sup­port the design of a new gen­er­a­tion of global veg­e­ta­tion models
