traits
R client for various sources of species trait data.
Included in traits with the associated function prefix:
- BETYdb -
betydb_ - National Center for Biotechnology Information - NCBI -
ncbi_ - Global Invasive Species Database - GISD -
g_ - Encyclopedia of Life Invasive Species -
eol_ - Encyclopedia of Life Traitbank -
traitbank_ - Coral Traits Database -

#> 1 Carpobrotus edulis is a mat-forming succulent native to South Africa which is invasive primarily in coastal habitats in many parts of the world. It was often introduced as an ornamental plant or used for planting along roadsides, from which it has spread to become invasive. Its main impacts are smothering, reduced regeneration of native flora and changes to soil pH and nutrient regimes.; (succulent); Common Names: balsamo, Cape fig, figue marine, freeway iceplant, ghaukum, ghoenavy, highway ice plant, higo del Cabo, higo marino, Hottentosvy, hottentot fig, Hottentottenfeige, iceplant, ikhambi-lamabulawo, Kaapsevy, patata frita, perdevy, pigface, rankvy, sea fig, sour fig, suurvy, umgongozi, vyerank; Synonyms: Mesembryanthemum edule L., Mesembryanthemum edulis
