 austraits allow users to access, explore and wrangle data from traits.build relational databases. It is also an R interface to AusTraits, the Australian plant trait database. This package contains functions for joining data from various tables, filtering to specific records, combining multiple databases and visualising the distribution of the data. We expect this package will assist users in working with traits.build databases.

 #### Transforming taxonomic descriptions into trait data tables
 
 Taxonomic descriptions for most of Australia's 30,000+ plant species are available in online floras maintained by state and national herbaria. One of our initiatives has been to use algorithms to extract key trait data from these paragraphs of information, providing an easy-to-search, tabular formulation of the taxonomic descriptions. This effort has led to the extraction of 570,000 distinct trait values across 36 traits. These data are available in AusTraits and the method used is described in **[Coleman et al. 2023](https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecoinf.2023.102312)**.
