nitrogen (formatted as kg C/kg N). This trait is connected with all restoration goals. For more information, please see Pugnaire & Valladares (1999). 4.2.26 Fine root dry mass per plant Fine root dry mass per plant is the amount of roots in kilograms (kg/plant). This trait is connected with all restoration goals. For more information, please see Pugnaire & Valladares (1999). 4.2.27 Flavonoids Flavonoids are chemical compounds associated with nitrogen fixation, pollinator attraction, and photosynthesis. In REST, flavonoids are measured as a percent (%) of the noted the measured flavonoid(s). This trait is related to all restoration goals. For more information, please see Pugnaire & Valladares (1999). 4.2.28 Flowering period length Flowering period length is the number of days (d) a plant produced flowers. This trait is related to successional facilitation. 4.2.29 Freeze exposure Freeze exposure refers to a plant's ability to withstand freezing conditions, defined as temperatures consistently below 32° Fahrenheit (0° Celsius) prior to plant death. In REST, freeze exposure is measured in hours (h) and is associated with the goals of carbon storage and successional facilitation. Please see Fitter & Hay (2002) for more information. 4.2.30 mass mass is the amount of an individual fruit of a given plant species. This is measured in grams (g) and is related to successional facilitation. 4.2.31 Germination time Germination time is the number of days (d) a plant reproductive unit (such as a seed or spore) takes to sprout. Germination is related to successional facilitation. Please see Fitter & Hay (2002) for more information. 4.2.32 Heat tolerance Heat tolerance refers to a plant's ability to withstand temperature conditions above its upper limit. In REST, heat tolerance is measured in hours (h) and is associated with all restoration goals. Please see Fitter & Hay (2002) for more information. 4.2.33 Instantaneous water use efficiency
