2. Zero hunger ,food and beverages ,15. Life on land ,580 Plants (Botany) - Abstract
Plant traits-the morphological, anatomical, physiological, biochemical and phenological characteristics of plants-determine how plants respond to environmental factors, affect other trophic levels, and influence ecosystem properties and their benefits and detriments to people. Plant trait data thus represent the basis for a vast area of research spanning from evolutionary biology, community and functional ecology, to biodiversity conservation, ecosystem and landscape management, restoration, biogeography and earth system modelling. Since its foundation in 2007, the TRY database of plant traits has grown continuously. It now provides unprecedented data coverage under an open access data policy and is the main plant trait database used by the research community worldwide. Increasingly, the TRY database also supports new frontiers of trait-based plant research, including the identification of data gaps and the subsequent mobilization or measurement of new data. To support this development, in this article we evaluate the extent of the trait data compiled in TRY and analyse emerging patterns of data coverage and representativeness. Best species coverage is achieved for categorical traits-almost complete coverage for 'plant growth form'. However, most traits relevant for ecology and vegetation modelling are characterized by continuous intraspecific variation and trait-environmental relationships. These traits have to be measured on individual plants in their respective environment. Despite unprecedented data coverage, we observe a humbling lack of completeness and representativeness of these continuous traits in many aspects. We, therefore, conclude that reducing data gaps and biases in the TRY database remains a key challenge and requires a coordinated approach to data mobilization and trait measurements. This can only be achieved in collaboration with other initiatives.

The timing of diel stem growth of mature forest trees is still largely unknown, as empirical data with high temporal resolution have not been available so far. Consequently, the effects of day–night conditions on tree growth remained uncertain. - Here we present the first comprehensive field study of hourly-resolved radial stem growth of seven temperate tree species, based on 57 million underlying data points over a period of up to 8 yr. - We show that trees grow mainly at night, with a peak after midnight, when the vapour pressure deficit (VPD) is among the lowest. A high VPD strictly limits radial stem growth and allows little growth during daylight hours, except in the early morning. Surprisingly, trees also grow in moderately dry soil when the VPD is low. Species-specific differences in diel growth dynamics show that species able to grow earlier during the night are associated with the highest number of hours with growth per year and the largest annual growth increment. - We conclude that species with the ability to overcome daily water deficits faster have greater growth potential. Furthermore, we conclude that growth is more sensitive than carbon uptake to dry air, as growth stops before stomata are known to close., New Phytologist, 231 (6), ISSN:0028-646X, ISSN:1469-8137

Climate-induced tree mortality became a global phenomenon during the last century and it is expected to increase in many regions in the future along with climatic changes. Our current understanding of forest mortality trends is limited by a rather short time span of studies, small number of species and/or narrow geographical ranges. Yet, to quantify trends in mortality, in particular a long-term perspective is needed. Here, we present a unique data set of monitoring records from 127 unmanaged forest stands across Switzerland, which include five common European tree species (Norway spruce, Scots pine, silver fir, European beech, and sessile and common oak) and cover a time span of over one century (1898-2013), with inventory periods of 5 to 10 years.Species-specific annual mortality rates did not consistently increase in Swiss forests over the entire study period. One exception however was found for pine forests at lower altitudes, which experienced very dry conditions during the recent decades and showed a significant increase of mortality since the 1960s. In addition, temporal trends of mortality varied depending on the size class of the trees, with large trees undergoing an increase in mortality, while mortality of small trees tended to decrease. These trends suggest an ageing effect, but might also potentially point to different size-dependent drought susceptibility.Mortality rates were strongly affected by stand parameters (stand basal area and stand age), while climatic changes (minimum site water balance, temperature) had species- and site-specific effects. For instance, beech and oak, growing mainly on soils with a good water holding capacity, seemed not yet to be significantly affected by the overall increasing drought conditions. In contrast, pine trees known as rather drought-tolerant and growing on dry sites were severely impacted recent by drought events. Our results further indicate that the impact of drought and/or temperature on tree mortality increased with competition (i.e. higher stand basal area).In summary, the impact of drought and increasing temperatures on mortality rates in Swiss forests was the likely result of a combination of species and site-specific effects, further modulated by competition and stand age. The long-term data here presented highlight the complexity of forest dynamical processes, including gradual changes of the forest structure, demography and species composition, which in combination with climate may drive mortality rates in temperate forests.
