Description

A dataset containing the Shannon diversity of pine plantantions and the distance to nearest Oak formation. This dataset come from by Gonzalez-Moreno (2009), from the digitalization of Figure 3.2.B. It was used by Gonzalez-Moreno (2009) and by Gonzalez-Moreno et al. 2011 to assess the effect of distance in the Shannon diversity observed in pine plantations (proximity to seed source). A dataset containing the richness of Sierra Nevada ecosystems according to

Usage

1

Format

A data frame with 3 columns:

wdhOak

Weighted distance downhill to seed source. See references. Distance is double square root transformed

SH

Shannon diversity index

dist

Distance to oak formation (in meters)

Details

The equation obtained fitting a linear model between distance and shannon diversity will be used to determine the initial richnnes of each pixel in the pine plantations.
