Puketi Forest 2011 Trait variation along a toposequence

Trait variation along a toposequence - we sampled forest composition along a toposequence in permanent plots and matched composition to trait values and soil chemistry.

The data support an article in Journal of Ecology: Jager MM, Clearwater MJ, Richardson SJ, Bellingham PJ, Laughlin DC. 2015. Soil fertility induces coordinated responses of multiple independent functional traits. Journal of Ecology 103.2 (2015): 374-385. (doi:10.1111/1365-2745.12366).

These resources (data files) represent snapshots of data extracted from the National Vegetation Databank (NVS) for analysis supporting this manuscript. NVS is a living database, and data are subject to error correction and other amendments over time. The most current version of these data can be requested via the NVS website by searching for the datasets "Puketi 2011" and "Puketi Traitspace 2012".
