In MoBiodiv/mobr: Measurement of Biodiversity

Invasive plants dataset

Description

Herbaceous plant species counts sites invaded and uninvaded by Lonicera maackii (Amur honeysuckle) which is an invasive shrub.

Details

inv_comm is a site-by-species matrix with individual counts.

inv_plot_attr is a data frame with corresponding site variables. The column group specifies whether a site is "invaded" or "uninvaded". This variable is considered a "treatment" in the mob framework. The columns x and y contain the spatial coordinates of the sites.

The data were adapted from Powell et al (2013).
