The LT-Brazil data set contains observations of leaf mass per area, leaf N and P concentration per unit mass, and leaf N:P ratio from native woody species across the Brazilian territory, encompassing information of biome, vegetation, taxonomic data, geographical coordinates, climatic parameters, as well as soil properties. We compiled data from severalgeographical coordinates in native vegetation distributed across all biomes (i.e., Amaznia, Caatinga, Cerrado, Mata Atlntica, Pampa, and Pantanal) found in Brazil. Our compilation was focused on native woody plants (i.e., trees, shrubs, subshrubs, and lianas), excluding monocots, palm trees, herbs, and hemiparasitic plants. The compiled data set covers c. 9% of woody angiosperm species of Brazil. Unidentified or mixed species were also considered when met our eligibility criteria.Contributions to expand this database can be performed through our repository at GitHub (https://github.com/emariano-git/lt-brazil.git). Major versions of the LT-Brazil data set will also be made available via the TRY Plant Trait Database (https://www.try-db.org).
