种子形态和结实物候与适合度和繁殖策略有关，对植物生态学和进化研究具有重要意义。虽然种子形态在不同年份、地区和母树之间变化很大，甚至在同一物种内，但在现有的数据库或图画书中，种子质量和大小通常被报告为每个物种的平均值或范围。不幸的是，可免费获得的单个种子的种子性状数据有限。本文报道了日本129个树种种子的形态（种子长、宽、高）和干重数据。它包括来自44个科79属的数据，收集自位于日本冷温带至亚热带地区的各种森林，包括以前数据库中未报道的物种。我们主要使用森林树木基因库计划收集的种子，但也收集了新的种子。如果可能的话，从同一物种的多个母树收集多个种子。本文还报道了采样月份和日期的数据，表明采样点树木的结果季节。通过将这些数据与过去或未来的数据进行比较，我们希望它有助于了解气候变化对果树物候的影响。该摘要的完整数据集发表在期刊的数据论文部分，电子格式可在JaLTER的MetaCat中获得。
Information on seed morphology and fruiting phenology related to fitness and reproductive strategy is important for plant ecology and evolution. Although seed morphology is highly variable across years, regions and mother trees even within the same species, seed mass and size are often reported as averages or ranges for each species in existing databases or picture books. Unfortunately, freely available seed trait data for individual seeds are limited. This paper reports data on morphology (seed length, width and height) and dry weight of individual seeds from 129 tree species in Japan. It includes data from 79 genera in 44 families collected from various forests located in cool temperate to subtropical regions in Japan, including species not reported in previous databases. We mainly used seeds from the collections of the Forest Tree Gene Bank Program, but new seeds were also collected. If possible, multiple seeds were collected from multiple mother trees of the same species. This paper also reports data of the sampling month and date, which indicates the fruiting season of trees at the sampling site. By comparing these data to past or future data, we hope that it will aid in understanding the effects of climate change on fruiting phenology.
