It serves to counter the major bottleneck of lack of trait data for sufficiently large numbers of species in modeling the effects of climate change on the ecosystem and whole-earth scales.
"This huge advance in data availability will lead to more reliable predictions of how vegetation boundaries and ecosystem properties will shift under future climate and land-use change scenarios," said Dr Ian Wright from Macquarie University.
