Although root traits capture key dimensions related to plant responses to changing environmental conditions and effects on ecosystem processes, they have rarely been included in large‐scale comparative studies and global models. For instance, root traits remain absent from nearly all studies that define the global spectrum of plant form and function. Thus, to overcome conceptual and methodological roadblocks preventing a widespread integration of root trait data into large‐scale analyses we created the Global Root Trait (GRooT) Database. GRooT provides ready‐to‐use data by combining the expertise of root ecologists with data mobilization and curation. Specifically, we (a) determined a set of core root traits relevant to the description of plant form and function based on an assessment by experts, (b) maximized species coverage through data standardization within and among traits, and (c) implemented data quality checks.}, cin = {IBG-2}, ddc = {550}, cid = {I:(DE-Juel1)IBG-2-20101118}, pnm = {582 - Plant Science (POF3-582)}, pid = {G:(DE-HGF)POF3-582}, typ = {PUB:(DE-HGF)16}, UT = {WOS:000569059000001}, doi = {10.1111/geb.13179}, url = {https://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/885504}, }
