      abstract     = {Plant traits – the morphological, anatomical,
                      physiological, biochemical and phenological characteristics
                      of plants and their organs – determine how primary
                      producers respond to environmental factors, affect other
                      trophic levels, influence ecosystem processes and services
                      and provide a link from species richness to ecosystem
                      functional diversity. Trait data thus represent the raw
                      material for a wide range of research from evolutionary
                      biology, community and functional ecology to biogeography.
                      Here we present the global database initiative named TRY,
                      which has united a wide range of the plant trait research
                      community worldwide and gained an unprecedented buy-in of
                      trait data: so far 93 trait databases have been contributed.
                      The data repository currently contains almost three million
                      trait entries for 69 000 out of the world's 300 000
                      plant species, with a focus on 52 groups of traits
                      characterizing the vegetative and regeneration stages of the
                      plant life cycle, including growth, dispersal, establishment
                      and persistence. A first data analysis shows that most plant
                      traits are approximately log-normally distributed, with
                      widely differing ranges of variation across traits. Most
                      trait variation is between species (interspecific), but
                      significant intraspecific variation is also documented, up
                      to $40\%$ of the overall variation. Plant functional types
                      (PFTs), as commonly used in vegetation models, capture a
                      substantial fraction of the observed variation – but for
                      several traits most variation occurs within PFTs, up to
                      $75\%$ of the overall variation. In the context of
                      vegetation models these traits would better be represented
                      by state variables rather than fixed parameter values. The
                      improved availability of plant trait data in the unified
                      global database is expected to support a paradigm shift from
                      species to trait-based ecology, offer new opportunities for
                      synthetic plant trait research and enable a more realistic
                      and empirically grounded representation of terrestrial
                      vegetation in Earth system models.},
