A SAR dataset describing the plants of the Galapagos Islands

Description

A sample dataset in the correct sars format: contains the areas of a number of islands in the Galapagos, and the number of plant species recorded on each island.

Usage

data(galap)

Format

Adata frame with 2 columns and 16 rows. Each row contains the area of an island (km2) in the Galapagos (1st column) and the number of plants on that island (2nd column).Preston (1962) also includes the island of Albemarle, but we have excluded this as it is almost six times larger than the second largest island.
