Retained Carbon in Beech Trees

Description

The carbon retained by leaves measured in kg/ha is recorded for forty-one different plots of mountainous regions of Navarra (Spain), depending on the forest classification: areas with 90% or more beech trees (Fagus Sylvatica) are labeled monospecific, while areas with many species of trees are labeled multispecific.

Format

A data frame with 41 observations on the following 3 variables:

Plot

plot number

carbon

carbon retained by leaves measured in kg/ha

type

a factor with levels monospecific and multispecific
