Using Encyclopedia of Life’s TraitBank to identify plant traits associated with vulnerability

2014-09-08

Abstract excerpt

Certain biological traits seem to predispose some species to greater extinction risk than others and, when vulnerability information is limited, could be used as proxies to identify understudied species likely in need of protection. In the past, identifying broadly applicable traits associated with extinction risk has been hampered by the difficulty of collecting information for a broad range of species (both geog...
