Morphological and Plant functional traits of seedling of Quercus woods measured in Molise region (Italy)

These data are referrerd to the seedlings of three Quercus cerris woods, namely Selva di Castiglione (SC), Bosco della Ficora (BF) and Bosco di San Leo (BSL), developed in different lithological and physiographic conditions and subjected to different forestry practices in Molise region (Italy). The phenotypic parameters considered in this study were the stem and root length and the leaf area, whereas the plant functional traits (PFTs) were specific leaf area (SLA), leaf dry matter content (LDMC), leaf thickness (Lth) and chlorophyll content (CHL). The measures are reffered to three leaves on each seedling.These numeric data can be analyzed with basic statistical programs. These data can be compared with data collected in other sites.
