• Entity URI: https://w3id.org/APD/traits/trait_0010021
• Type: numeric
• Definition: A whole plant morphology trait [TO:0000398] which is the maximum [NCIT:C25564] width [PATO:0000600] dimension of a plant canopy [ENVO:01001242] for a taxon [NCIT:C40098] in a given population [PCO:0000001] or location [NCIT:C25341]. This is a plant's larger [NCIT:C49508] width dimension and is orthogonal to its height and breadth.;Maximum width dimension of a plant's vegetative canopy for a taxon in a given location; this is the larger width dimension and is orthogonal to its height and breadth.
• Additional comments: This trait is not meant to document the width of all individuals sampled, but instead the maximum width for a typical mature individual within a population or across a taxon.
• units: m
• allowable range: 0.001 - 20 m
