This dataset is a list which contains the functional traits of 71 vascular plant species sampled in 128 16 m^2 squared plots in the Northernn Adriatic Dunes. The species are the ones contained in the dataset duneFVG. See Tordoni et al. (2019) for details.
data("duneFVG.tr8")A list which contains 3 objects:
traits.tota dataframe which contains 15 functional traits in columns and 71 species as rows. Species correspond to those contained in duneFVG$total.
traits.nata dataframe which contains 15 functional traits in columns and 62 species as rows. Species correspond to those contained in duneFVG$native.
traits.alia dataframe which contains 15 functional traits in columns and 9 species as rows. Species correspond to those contained in duneFVG$alien.
There are two linked lists to duneFVG.tr8, one with the abundance data of the species (duneFVG) and one with the spatial coordinates of the plots (duneFVG.xy).
The following leaf functional and mechanistic traits were measured: specific leaf area (SLA, mm2 mg-1), major and minor vein length per unit area (VLAmaj VLAmin, mm mm^-2), osmotic potential at full turgor (\(\pi_0\), -MPa), water potential at turgor loss point (\(\Psi\)tlp, -MPa), N and C content (N % and C %), C and N stable isotope composition (\(\delta\)13C per thousand, and \(\delta\)15N per thousand) and C to N ratio (C:N).
The following categorical traits associated with phenology and reproductive strategies derived from literature are also included: life form, clonality, photosynthetic pathway, sprouting and flowering time-span.
