SEV-LTER Plant Traits Database

This dataset contains measurements of morphological (leaf, stem, root, and seed), nutrient, and isotopic traits for plant species growing in the Sevilleta National Wildlife Refuge. Approximately 104 species were sampled in or near four core sites of the SEV-LTER (core_blue, core_black, core_creosote, and core_PJ) plus the Sevilleta Field Station between 2017 and 2021. In addition, seed masses were measured from a 2016-era seed collection provided by Jenny Noble and added to the dataset; for these, site = NA.
