Journal Article
Joswig, J. S., Kattge, J., Kraemer, G., Mahecha, M. D., Rüger, N., Schaepman, M. E., …Schuman, M. C. (2023). Imputing missing data in plant traits: A guide to improve gap‐filling. Global Ecology and Biogeography, 32(8), 1395-1408. https://doi.org/10.1111/geb.13695

Aim: Globally distributed plant trait data are increasingly used to understand relationships between biodiversity and ecosystem processes. However, global trait databases are sparse because they are compiled from many, mostly small databases. This sp...
