Tree Trait Task Force (3TF) - Tree Functional Trait Database

Tree Trait Task Force (3TF) - Tree Functional Trait Database Corresponding author : [e-mail] [e-mail] [e-mail] Our dataset was originally created to offer scientists and the public a “ready-to-use” functional trait database for trees. This dataset is the first step within a larger project to create a standardized tree functional trait database for applied projects. We aim to offer a clean and uniform database of traits with clear selection criteria for its retained values : that the trait value is original and can be traced back to a single publication (duplicates are removed); that the trait was measured on trees growing in their natural environment (not experimental); that measurement units are correct; that all remaining possible outliers are verified manually by going back to the original publication for confirmation. Full dataset description will follow soon
