摘要：We introduce the Funandes database, a compilation of functional trait data for the andean fora spanning six countries . FunAndes contains data on 24 traits across 2,694 taxa, for a total of 105,466 entries . The database features plant-morphological attributes including growth form, and leaf, stem, and wood traits measured at the species or individual level, together with geographic metadata (i .e ., coordinates and elevation) . FunAndes follows the feld names, trait descriptions and units of measurement of the TRY database . It is currently available in open access in the FIGSHARE data repository, and will be part of TRY’s next release . Open access trait data from Andean plants will contribute to ecological research in the region, the most species rich terrestrial biodiversity hotspot .
