This reports documents 1) the construction of Community Weighted Means (CWMs) and Variance (CWVs); and 2) the classification of plots into forest\\non-forest based on species growth forms. It complements species composition data from sPlot 3.0 and gap-filled plant functional traits from TRY 5.0, as received by [Jens Kattge](jkattge@bgc-jena.mpg.de) on Jan 21, 2020.

sPlot has two independent systems for classifying plots to vegetation types. The first relies on the expert opinion of data contributors and classifies plots into broad habitat types. These broad habitat types are coded using 5, non-mutually exclusive dummy variables:
