What This Cool Grow Figure Means

This game compares published plant trait rows from EOL TraitBank.

  • Each plant uses a single comparable trait value or ordered class drawn from the underlying source rows.
  • Binary rounds ask which plant scores higher on that one trait, not which one is broadly more successful.
  • Trait rows can come from USDA Plants, FAO EcoCrop, or TRY-backed EOL records depending on the metric.

This asks how cool the plant can still call “optimal,” not how cold it can survive.
