available_tr8: A dataframe containing the traits available for download.

In TR8: A Tool for Downloading Functional Traits Data for Plant Species

Description

The available_tr8 dataframe can be used as a reference in order to know which traits can be downloaded with the TR8 package.

Usage

data("available_tr8")

Format

A data frame with the following variables:

short_code

contains the codes that should be used when using the tr8() function

description

contains a short description of the traits

db

indicates from which databases the traits will be downloaded

Details

This dataframe can be viewed by those users who want to use the tr8() function in a non-interactive way (i.e. not willing to use the GUI for selecting traits to be retrieved). The users should take note of the short_code used for the traits of interest, since these are the codes that should be passed to tr8 in the download_list parameter.
