data.abu: Species abundance data from three habitats

In KaiHsiangHu/iNEXT3D: Interpolation and Extrapolation for Species Diversity in three dimensions

Description

This data set consists of the abundance and phylogenetic tree of 46 vascular plant species collected in the period 2002-2009 along the Tyrrhenian coast from three successively less extreme foredune habitats: emboryo dunes (ED, 17 species), mobile dunes (MD, 39 species) and transition dunes (TD, 42 species). See the vignette for part of the data in the required input format, and Carboni et al. (2010, 2011) for sampling details and habitat descriptions.
