- We introduce the AusTraits database - a compilation of values of plant traits for taxa in the Australian flora (hereafter AusTraits). AusTraits synthesises data on 448 traits across 28,640 taxa from field campaigns, published literature, taxonomic monographs, and individual taxon descriptions. Traits vary in scope from physiological measures of performance (e.g. photosynthetic gas exchange, water-use efficiency) to morphological attributes (e.g. leaf area, seed mass, plant height) which link to aspects of ecological variation. AusTraits contains curated and harmonised individual- and species-level measurements coupled to, where available, contextual information on site properties and experimental conditions. This article provides information on version 3.0.2 of AusTraits which contains data for 997,808 trait-by-taxon combinations. We envision AusTraits as an ongoing collaborative initiative for easily archiving and sharing trait data, which also provides a template for other national or regional initiatives globally to fill persistent gaps in trait knowledge.

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The paper outlines the history of research and heritage management of Manyikeni (a Zimbabwe tradition site dated 1200-1700 AD) and the trading station of Chibuene (dated from 400-present). Both sites are located in the District of Vilankulos, in Inhambane Province of Southern Mozambique. Archaeological work has been conducted at both sites since the 1970s with significant participation of local residents and researchers from Eduardo Mondlane University, Maputo and external researchers. The paper discusses heritage measures for these two sites including also a newly reported stone enclosure (Zimbabwe) of Ngomene, in Vilankulos, c.56.7km south of Chibuene. We also discuss the heritage and cultural tourism potential of the area in terms of proximity to the marine national park of Bazaruto, for a sustainable heritage conservation program in the wider processes of socio-economic development. We use the Urban Historic Landscape, or HUL approach associated with the notion of the living heritage to meet community needs. This is reinforced by the recently adopted marine cultural heritage approach of the Rising from the Depths Network in Eastern Africa, aiming to benefit communities, living specifically on the coast.The paper argues for an integrated biocultural heritage approach for sustainable conservation through the establishment of “Archaeological Parks” and exemplifies efforts towards these goals on the sites and the possibilities for such an endeavor in the current national cultural and natural legislation.
