Fine-Root Ecology Database (FRED): A Global Collection of Root Trait Data with Coincident Site, Vegetation, Edaphic, and Climatic Data, Version 3.
Abstract
To address the need for a centralized root trait database, we compiled the Fine-Root Ecology Database (FRED) from published and unpublished data sources. We have continued to add to the FRED database since the release of FRED 2.0 in 2018, and a new version of FRED is now available. FRED 3.0 has more than 150,000 observations of more than 330 root traits, with data collected from more than 1400 data sources. FRED 3.0 has 45% more root trait observations than FRED 2.0, particularly in the categories of root anatomy, morphology, and microbial associations; ancillary data on associated site, vegetation, edaphic, and climatic conditions from across the globe have also increased concurrently. FRED is focused on fine roots (traditionally defined as roots less than 2 mm in diameter), as coarse roots are studied using different methodology, often at very different scales, and have different traits and trait interpretations. However, FRED accepts data collected from roots of all sizes, and already contains several observations of coarse roots. Data collection will continue for the foreseeable future.
