plant_flood_regime_classification

Label: Plant flood regime response
Entity URI: https://w3id.org/APD/traits/trait_0030811
Type: categorical
Definition: An environmental [ENVO:01000203] tolerance [NCIT:C43414] trait which categorises plants based on the depth [PATO:0001595], duration [PATO:0001309] and frequency [PATO:0000044] of inundation [SWEET:phenSystem/Inundation] a plant [PO:0000003] is able to tolerate. It incorporates their ability to tolerate or respond to fluctuations in flooding [ENVO:01000710] and drying, including growth [GO:0040007] and seed germination [GO:0009845] responses.;Classification scheme of plant flood regime requirements and tolerances, categorising taxa into seven groups based on their germination and growth responses to flood regimes.
Additional comments: None

Allowed values:

value	description
amphibious	Species which germinate in damp or flooded conditions and can grow in or our of water.
amphibious_fluctuation_responders_floating	Species which germinate in flooded conditions, grow in both flooded and damp conditions, reproduce above the surface of the water, and which have floating leaves when inundated. (Species with floating leaves; ARf)
amphibious_fluctuation_responders_plastic	Species which germinate in flooded conditions, grow in both flooded and damp conditions, reproduce above the surface of the water, and which have morphological plasticity (e.g. heterophylly) in response to water-level variation. (Morphologically plastic species; ARp)
amphibious_fluctuation_tolerators_emergent	Species which germinate in damp or flooded conditions, which tolerate variation in water level, and which grow with their basal portions under water and reproduce out of water. (Emergent species; ATe)
amphibious_fluctuation_tolerators_low	Species which germinate in damp or flooded conditions, which tolerate variation in water level, which are low-growing and tolerate complete submersion when water-levels rise. (Low-growing species; ATl)
submerged	Species which germinate, grow and reproduce underwater. (S
terrestrial_damp	Species which germinate, grow and reproduce on saturated soil. (Damp species; Tda)
terrestrial_dry	Species which germinate, grow and reproduce where there is no surface water and the water table is below the soil surface. (Dry species; Tdr)
