Usage

DATASET_Bauges_PFG

Format

A list object with 7 elements to help finding dominant species and building Plant Functional Groups in Bauges area :

sp.names

a data.frame of dimension 2913 x 3
containing information about names of plant species in Bauges

• species : species ID

• GENUS : species' genus

• NAME : species' full name

sp.observations

a data.frame of dimension 288654 x 6
containing releves data about plant species in Bauges
to be used with the PRE_FATE.selectDominant function

• sites : sites ID

• species : species ID

• abund : relative abundance obtained with the PRE_FATE.abundBraunBlanquet function

• X : x-axis coordinates in Lambers (lcc)

• Y : y-axis coordinates in Lambers (lcc)

• habitat : habitat ID

  • 1 : open areas (fields, lawns, meadows...)

  • 2 : closed areas (forests...)

  • 3 : urban areas

dom.traits

data.frame of dimension 284 x 7
containing traits for dominant species
to be used with the PRE_FATE.speciesDistance function

• species : species ID

• GROUP : rough generalization of Raunkier life-forms :

  • Herbaceous

  • Chamaephyte

  • Phanerophyte

• HEIGHT : mean plant height (cm)

• DISPERSAL : classes (from 1 to 7) based on dispersal distances and types (Vittoz & Engler)

• LIGHT : Flora Indicativa value for light preference (from 1 to 5)

• NITROGEN : Flora Indicativa value for soil fertility preference (from 1 to 5)

• MOISTURE : Flora Indicativa value for soil moisture preference (from 1 to 5)

dom.dist_overlap

matrix of dimension 275 x 275
containing niche overlap distance for dominant species
to be used with the PRE_FATE.speciesDistance function

dom.dist_total

list of three matrix containing (traits + niche overlap) distance for dominant species :

• Herbaceous : dimension 204 x 204

• Chamaephyte : dimension 28 x 28

• Phanerophyte : dimension 30 x 30

to be used with the PRE_FATE.speciesClustering_step1 function

dom.determ

data.frame of dimension 262 x 10
containing dominant species information relative to PFG
obtained from the PRE_FATE.speciesClustering_step2 function

• PFG : Plant Functional Group name

• GROUP : rough generalization of Raunkier life-forms :

  • Herbaceous

  • Chamaephyte

  • Phanerophyte

• ID.cluster : Plant Functional Group ID

• species : species ID

• ID : species ID within its PFG

• sp.mean.dist :

• allSp.mean :

• allSp.min :

• allSp.max :

• DETERMINANT : is the species kept as determinant species within the PFG ? (see PRE_FATE.speciesClustering_step2 function for details)

PFG.observations

a data.frame of dimension 31666 x 20
containing gathered releves data by PFG for each releve site

PFG.traits

data.frame of dimension 20 x 8
containing traits for plant functional groups
obtained from the PRE_FATE.speciesClustering_step3 function

• PFG : Plant Functional Group name

• no.species : number of dominant species within each Plant Functional Group

• GROUP : rough generalization of Raunkier life-forms :

  • Herbaceous

  • Chamaephyte

  • Phanerophyte

• HEIGHT : mean value

• DISPERSAL : median value

• LIGHT : median value

• NITROGEN : median value

• MOISTURE : median value
