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
