Plant trait matrix for fire-prone Mediterranean chronosequences

A database of 23 traits for 117 Mediterranean plant species. It includes three groups of traits: i) four whole-plant traits (bud height, sclerophylly, xerophily and resprouting ability), ii) ten above-ground traits (plant height, flowering time and span, leaf size, area, weight, thickness, specific leaf area, seed size and dispersal distance), and iii) nine below-ground traits (root length, depth, laterality, root depth:laterality ratio, root weight, specific root length, root C and N concentration and the root CN ratio).
