Paracou15R Documentation

Tree spatial pattern in control plot 15, Paracou experimental station, French Guiana

Description

Spatial pattern of 4128 trees of 332 different species in a 250 m X 250 m control plot in Paracou experimental station, French Guiana.

Usage

data(Paracou15)

Format

A list with 5 components:
$rect is a vector of coordinates (xmin,ymin,xmax,ymax) of the origin and the opposite corner of a 250 by 250 m rectangular plot.
$trees is a list of tree coordinates (x,y).
$species is a factor with 332 levels corresponding to species names of the trees.
$spdist is an object of class "dist" giving between-species distances based on functional traits (see Paine et al. 2011).
