Statement of authorship : YMB coordinated the PlantPopNet network. The founding steering committee (YMB, EEC, AMC, JE, MBG, A-LL, DAR, RS-G and GMW) designed the PlantPopNet network and wrote the field protocol. JV, JE and YMB designed the current study. All the authors (except for A-LL, EG, GMW and PN) collected trait data on field populations. AJMT, ALS, AMC, AR, BE, CR, JB, JD, JE, LHF, LNH, MC, PUR, RK, RS-G, SM-B and YMB provided seeds for the common garden experiment. JV carried out the common garden experiment with help from PN and JE, and the statistical analyses with help from JE and YMB. JV wrote the first draft of the manuscript with help from JE and YMB, and all authors contributed substantially to revisions.
Data accessibility statement : Should the manuscript be accepted, the data supporting the results will be archived in Dryad and the data DOI will be included at the end of the article.
