Number of traits available per mangrove species.

Remarks on data collection:

When data was provided for young leaves and mature leaves, only mature leaves were used. When studies reported traits from the same species from different locations, all locations were considered as separate records in the database. Studies that reported a range of maximum and minimum values were also added as separate records. Leaves collected from the ground were not used for measurement of traits. For leaf litter traits, data were used where authors reported using "senescent leaves", or "yellow leaves" that could be easily detached from the trees.

To facilitate the comparison of mangrove traits with those from other studies and datasets, the same trait names were used as in the TRY Database of plant traits (KATTGE et al. 2011) whenever possible.
