Dataset for Ottaviani (XXXX) Size ain’t age: decoupled and interacting effects of height and age on functional traits in grassland plants
Height (cm), age (years), radial growth (μm), vessel size (μm2), area of storage (% of section area) and belowground dry matter content (BDMC; mg g-2) for individuals of eight perennial non-clonal plant species.
While some of our findings follow our expectations, such as height and age in grassland plants are decoupled and older plants grow slower, detectable at the interspecific and intraspecific level, we also found that resource-conservation traits tend to be uncorrelated with either height or age and follow highly species-specific patterns.

Long-term monitoring is pivotal to fully understanding spatio-temporal changes in plant diversity, particularly in protected areas. Here we present a dataset including plant presence and abundance data collected using a probabilistic sampling design in the “Montagna di Torricchio” Nature strict Reserve, central Apennines, Italy. Five surveys were conducted in 35 plots during a period spanning 22 years (2002-2024). The dataset allows to study plant diversity changes over space and time across different habitat types by using statistical inference based on solid sampling theory.
