List of taxa and features thereof for which there are trait data in the FAIRTraits_TraitValue occurence archive

This, and the other files which constitute the FAIRtraits database, are described in detail in a data paper submitted to the journal "Ecology". The current Checklist archive gives selected features of these taxa, mostly taken from the "Flore de la France méditerranéenne continentale" (2014; J.-M. Tison, P. Jauzein & H. Michaud.
