FRED
收藏资源简介:
Fine-Root Ecology Database (FRED, http://roots.ornl.gov) which so far includes > 70 000 observations encompassing a broad range of root traits and also includes associated environmental data. FRED represents a critical step toward improving our understanding of below-ground plant ecology. For example, FRED facilitates the quantification of variation in fine-root traits across root orders, species, biomes, and environmental gradients while also providing a platform for assessments of covariation among root, leaf, and wood traits, the role of fine roots in ecosystem functioning, and the representation of fine roots in terrestrial biosphere models
细根生态学数据库(Fine-Root Ecology Database,以下简称FRED,访问网址:http://roots.ornl.gov)截至目前已收录逾7万条观测记录,涵盖广泛的根系功能性状,并同步配套收录相关环境数据。FRED是推动我们深化对地下植物生态学认知的关键一步。例如,FRED不仅可量化不同根序、物种、生物群区及环境梯度下细根性状的变异情况,还可为多项研究提供支撑平台:包括根系、叶片与木质性状间的协同变异分析、细根在生态系统功能中的作用,以及陆地生物圈模型中细根的表征方案。
