@KambachStephan This is a new large-extent study with a number of co-authors contributing to the European Vegetation Archive (EVA) and @sPlot_iDiv.

Plant functional traits should be tightly linked to climate, but this was elusive to prove at the global scale. @KambachStephan. shows why: The relationship is habitat specific.🔥Hot off the press🔥
