• Label: Diaspore dry mass
• Entity URI: https://w3id.org/APD/traits/trait_0012611
• Type: numeric
• Definition: A seed morphology trait [TO:0000184] which is the dry [PATO:0001824] mass [PATO:0000125] of a seed [PO:0009010] and the seed dispersal [EnvThes:21042] structures [PATO:0000141].;Dry mass of a plant's dispersal unit, including the seed and any dispersal appendages; synonymous with the term dispersule and often synonymous with the term disseminule.
• Additional comments: Data mapped onto this trait have been very explicitly defined as a 'diaspore'. There will be additional values mapped as either 'seed_dry_mass' or 'fruit_dry_mass' that are also diaspores, but have identified only as being a 'seed' or 'fruit'. In addition, it is expected that some observations in AusTraits mapped onto 'seed_dry_mass' will actually include both the seed and some dispersal tissue, if the two cannot easily be separated.
• units: mg
• allowable range: 1e-05 - 1000000 mg
