Ecological indicator and traits values for Swedish vascular plants

Abstract We introduce and provide a new data-set of species-specific ecological indicator values (alternative ‘Ellenberg values’ for climatic variables, light, moisture, soil reaction/pH, salinity, nitrogen phosphorus plus response to management disturbance), physiological reproductive traits (including symbionts, phenology, pollinators, nectar production, seed properties), indices relevance conservation introduction history biodiversity relevance), presence in 38 main vegetation types all vascular plant species Sweden based on broad survey published unpublished data. The potential uses limitations the values, are briefly outlined discussed.
