structure - austraits-6.0.0.rds: contains a version of the dataset for direct
loading in R - source code v6.0.0.zip: contains the source materials used to build
the compiled dataset

Compared to the last version, this release contains substantial
additions of new data and improvement of old data.
| version | dataset_id | taxa | locations | traits | records |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5.0.0 | 363 | 33402 | 4894 | 494 | 1813897 |
| 6.0.0 | 364 | 33494 | 4894 | 497 | 1726024 |
This is a major release of AusTraits as it involves removal of some old error-prone data. Additionally, we've added new traits and metadata.
-
2 new sources added to the dataset: NHNSW_2024, Stephens_2024
- Stephen_2024: additional trait data from EUCLID
- NHNSW_2024: 597 taxa had previously been missing from the PlantNet datasets
-
1 sources removed– most replaced by corrected or updated sources
above: WAH_2016 -
15095 new or updated records for 35 existing traits
-
Adding more specific references:
- Add species-level authorship to all flora data, as designated in the floras.
- For
Wenk_2022andWenk_2023, the two “Complete Traits” datasets, add in the references for the manually looked-up taxa.
-
Fixing errors, removing outdated data
- Mainly removing duplicate and outdated trait data from floras that were scraped once when AusTraits was first being developed and were scraped again in 2022/2023. This removes trait values that were duplicated between the two scrapings, with the newer values being preferentially retained. All non-duplicate values were manually checked and removed if the original values was determined to be an error.
-
-
4705 new records for 3 new traits: bud_length, bud_width,
buds_per_inflorescence
Details on new studies:
| dataset_id | taxa | locations | traits | records |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| NHNSW_2024 | 597 | 1 | 33 | 6371 |
| Stephens_2024 | 981 | 1 | 9 | 13429 |
