Description

This dataset includes Table 3 from Edwards et al (2015) Ecology. Cell volume measurements for nearly all species in the nutrient trait data set. These measurements supplement those in Table 1, which only includes measurements reported in the nutrient trait publications. The volume measurements in Table 1 are presented again, along with measurements from the literature for species not measured in the nutrient trait publications.
