Plant traits data from TRY database (raw data for METRIN-KG)

This dataset was retrieved from the TRY website by requesting data for 41 traits based on the most used functional trait categories in plant physiology studies - plant height, seed mass, leaf area, leaf carbon content, leaf nitrogen content, leaf phosphorus content, stem specific density, leaf lifespan, leaf respiration rate, and photosynthesis rate (see Table below)
