Introduction
CLO-PLA3 is a database of plant traits concerning clonal growth and vegetative regeneration of Central European flora. It is a result of team work in which participated: Karolína Bendová, Helena Gruberová, Magda Jonášová, Jan Karpíšek, Leoš Klimeš, Jitka Klimešová, Karel Knopp, Petra Konvalinková, Vojtěch Lanta, Adéla Pokorná. Support during building the database from 1994 was provided by Institute of Botany, Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic (grants AV0Z6005908, AV0Z60050516), Grant Agency of the Czech Republic (grant 206/01/1039) and by European Commission (LEDA project under ESSD programme, contract number EVR1-CT-2002-40022).
This web pages provide a free access to data for individual species of vascular plants based on literature records and field experience of the authors. If several records are available for a species, all of them are in the database. Each record is referenced so that the user can consult literature sources for original data. Individual records can be saved on user's computer.
Aggregated and easy to use version of the database with some additional traits: Klimešová J, Danihelka J, Chrtek J, de Bello F, Herben T. 2017. CLO-PLA: a database of clonal and bud bank traits of Central European flora. Ecology 98, 1179. (doc)) (pdf1) (reflist(rtf)) (traits(txt)) (refs(txt))
CLOPLA1 (CLOnal PLAnts, version 1) is a database of clonal growth in plants of central Europe. Modes of clonal growth were classified into 27 types, reflecting the original of clonal growth organs, their morphology and function. The database includes 2686 species.
CLOPLA2 (CLOnal PLAnts, version 2) is a an extended version of the CLOPLA1 database. Besides the modes of clonal growth 25 variables are tabulated for individual species, either directly or indirectly related to clonal growth.
CLOPLA3 (CLOnal PLAnts, version 3) is a new, fully referenced database, presented here. It covers both modes of clonal growth, as classified earlier by us, and numerous plant traits, selected mainly as potentially interesting for users interested in functional response of clonal plants to various types of disturbances. This database is partly overlapping with the LEDA database, for which we prepared plant traits concerning clonal growth.

History
We have developed three databases of clonal plants:CLOPLA1 (CLOnal PLAnts, version 1) is a database of clonal growth in plants of central Europe. Modes of clonal growth were classified into 27 types, reflecting the original of clonal growth organs, their morphology and function. The database includes 2686 species.
CLOPLA2 (CLOnal PLAnts, version 2) is a an extended version of the CLOPLA1 database. Besides the modes of clonal growth 25 variables are tabulated for individual species, either directly or indirectly related to clonal growth.
