<b>Chinese Seed Trait Database: A curated resource for diaspore traits in the Chinese flora</b>

This is a curated repository that compiles an extensive array of diaspore traits for plant species in China — Chinese Seed Trait Database (CSTD). It has so far been assembled from 694 sources in the Chinese language, comprises more than 110,000 records across 118 seed traits for 3,897 plant species. The data spans all major axes of the seed trait spectrum, encompassing morphological, quantitative, phenological, physiological, chemical, and dispersal traits. This initiative overcomes language barriers and enhances the completeness of global seed trait data, ultimately providing an invaluable resource for advancing large-scale ecological research.本数据集为经人工整理甄选的知识库，收录了中国境内植物物种的海量繁殖体（diaspore）性状——中国种子性状数据库（Chinese Seed Trait Database，简称CSTD）。截至目前，该库的数据源均来自694篇中文文献，涵盖3897种植物的118项种子性状，累计记录超11万条。该数据集覆盖种子性状谱系的全部核心维度，涵盖形态学、数量性状、物候学、生理学、化学及种子传播相关性状。该数据库打破了语言壁垒，提升了全球种子性状数据的完整性，最终为大规模生态学研究的推进提供了极为宝贵的科研资源。
