  • The distribution of plant functional trait values across environmental gradients reflects species’ adaptations to local abiotic conditions. Here, we measured plant composition and plant functional traits in 272 1m2 plots across an elevational and hydrological gradient on Long Pine Key in Everglades National Park between 2021 to 2023. At each site we measured average water depth, elevation, burn frequency, and species richness. We also measured the specific leaf area (SLA), leaf dry matter content (LDMC), leaf area (LA), maximum burn temperature (Temp_C), time to ignition (Ignite) and its inverse (IgniteINV), burn duration (Time), and percent burned (Percent) of five individuals of each species found within our plots. We then used the plant functional trait values SLA, LDMC, and LA, to calculate the CSR value of each plant species found within our plots following the methodology outlined in Pierce et al. (2016). We used these data to determine the distribution of trait values across Long Pine Key and to test for correlations between classic plant functional traits and plant flammability traits.
