EM-tensor...strong energy condition

I have a stupid, I think at least, question on the energy-momentum tensor. What does the trace exactly mean? In the case of a perfect fluid we would have the trace being \rho+3p i.e. the energy density plus 3 times the pressure. It is the total what? What does it imply if it is say zero?

Thanks in advance for answering this, I think really basic, question!

Re: EM-tensor...strong energy condition

Or in other words what does the strong energy condition intuitively mean?
