Set of functional traits to be retrieved by Ecoflora.

Description

traits_eco defines a list containg pairs in the form short_name_of_the_trait = corresponding_code_in_Ecoflora At the moment the package does not download all the traits available at Ecoflora; curious users can expand the number of downloadable traits simply extending the list with other 'pairs' (take care of using the right Ecoflora codes as described in ‘⁠http://www.ecoflora.org.uk/search_plantchar.php⁠’).
