Create a table of Leaf-Height-Seed (LHS) strategy types

Description

This function generates a data frame containing different plant growth strategies based on the Leaf-Height-Seed (LHS) scheme. Each strategy is described by a combination of traits and their corresponding ecological interpretation.

Usage

LHS_strategy_scheme()

Value

A data frame with two columns:

type

Character vector of LHS strategy combinations (e.g., "L-L-L", "L-L-S", etc.)

strategy

Character vector describing the ecological strategy for each type
