[This dataset is embargoed until September 30, 2027]. This data comprises key hydraulic and photosynthetic traits, nutrient concentration and plant structure for savanna species (trees, shrubs, grasses and herbaceous) of the Cerrado, collected in the Chapada dos Veadeiros National Park (PNCV; 14°05' S, 47°40' W), located in the central plateau region of Brazil in 2021. These data were collected throughout May-September 2021 on 19 woody species across 11 botanical families, and for 20 monocot species across 6 botanical families, including grasses, herbs and Velloziaceae. 32 plant functional traits were measured on the 19 woody species, and 17 plant functional traits were measured on the 20 monocot species. Trait collections followed standardised published methodologies. The aim of this data was to assess the functional trait space occupied by Cerrado species and whether they differed according to vegetation type, and whether certain species or plants from certain environments were more or less resistant to drought stress. This research was supported by Natural Environment Research Council (Grant: NE/S000011/1). Full details about this dataset can be found at https://doi.org/10.5285/e8cff3f4-60e5-46cf-a4d0-0f7ecf222ae4

[This nonGeographicDataset is embargoed until January 4, 2027]. This dataset comprises whole-leaf and headspace metabolomics of barley plants (Hordeum vulgare) that were root-inoculated with three rhizobacterial treatments: Acidovorax radicis N35, Bacillus subtilis B171, or no bacteria (control). Plants were also either infested with Sitobion avenae aphids or left uninfested as controls. Plants were grown under controlled conditions in glasshouse (leaf extracts) or climate chamber (headspace analysis). The purpose of these experiments was to compare metabolomic profiles across rhizobacterial treatments, and when aphids were feeding on plants, as an assessment of wider-community effects on rhizosphere inoculation of barley plants.

The data comprise a long-term study of alpine plant community dynamics in the Gunnison National Forest of Colorado. The data comprise annual census data for all plants (including seedlings) in each of 50 2x2m plots, including information on size, reproduction, life stage, and mortality, with all plants identified and geo-located. These data are also made available transformed to provide individual-level estimates of growth, survival, fecundity, and recruitment. The dataset covers several thousand individuals of approximately twenty species, and highlights an apparent pattern of demographic decline. The data also include information on microenvironment / microedaphic variation at 2 m resolution covering the entire research site, including information on temperatures, topography, soil chemistry, soil texture, and other variables. The data also include information on the functional traits of many of the species present at the site, including information on biomass allocation, leaf traits, root traits, seed traits, and floral traits.
