AusTraits, a curated plant trait database for the Australian flora

Daniel Stein Falster, Rachael V. Gallagher, Elizabeth Hedi Wenk, Ian J. Wright et autres

We introduce the AusTraits database - a compilation of values of plant traits for taxa in the Australian flora (hereafter AusTraits). AusTraits synthesises data on 448 traits across 28,640 taxa from field campaigns, published literature, taxonomic monographs, and individual taxon descriptions. Traits …

AusTraits – a curated plant trait database for the Australian flora

Daniel Stein Falster, Rachael V. Gallagher, Elizabeth Hedi Wenk, Ian J. Wright et autres

Abstract We introduce the AusTraits database - a compilation of measurements of plant traits for taxa in the Australian flora (hereafter AusTraits). AusTraits synthesises data on 375 traits across 29230 taxa from field campaigns, published literature, taxonomic monographs, and individual taxa descriptions. …

Do generalisations of global trade-offs in plant design apply to an Australian sclerophyllous flora?

Trevor L. Meers, Tina L. Bell, Neal J. Enright, Sabine Kasel

Functional-trait analysis at a global scale has found evidence for evolutionary specialisation of species into those designed to acquire resources rapidly and those designed to conserve resources. The present study aimed to determine whether such a trade-off exists in sclerophyllous vegetation in …

Role of plant functional traits in determining vegetation composition of abandoned grazing land in north‐eastern Victoria, Australia

Trevor L. Meers, Tina L. Bell, Neal J. Enright, Sabine Kasel

Abstract Question: In the Northern Hemisphere, species with dispersal limitations are typically absent from secondary forests. In Australia, little is known about dispersal mechanisms and other traits that drive species composition within post‐agricultural, secondary forest. We asked whether mode of seed dispersal, …

Changes in vegetation sand floristics under a powerline easement and implications for vegetation management

Trevor L. Meers, Robyn Adams

Utility corridors such as powerlines are widespread linear easements of highly modified vegetation which often fragment natural areas of conservation significance. Vegetation management along these easements is aimed at modifying vegetation structure by the removal of all tall shrubs and trees, which …

Restoration of former pine plantations in Australia: revegetation techniques, pine wildling control and the importance of land use history.

Sabine Kasel, Trevor L. Meers

Within Australia, pine plantations were first revegetated with native species in the 1980s with the number and size of restoration projects growing each year. Sites span a wide range of environments including alpine areas within the Australian Capital Territory and New South …
