This object stores information regarding the particles counts
in each biological sample of an entity but in vector or table
format rather than the original format in the EPD database.
Note, however, that data here comes from the table
SAMPLES
from the database or an
epd.entity-class
object. Contrary to data
in epd.entity-class
objects, this are
intended to be manipulated and modified if necessary.
taxanames
character. Names of the taxa included in the object.
taxa_
numeric. Identification numbers of the taxa.
taxaaccepted
numeric. Identification numbers for the accepted taxa. This is useful to unify taxonomy across entities from different authors, that may have used slightly different taxa names.
taxamhvar
numeric. Identification numbers for the higher taxa levels of each taxa. This is the only taxonomical hierarchy that is available in the EPD. The approach is useful, but also very limited, since there is no intuitive way to homogenize the data at certain taxonomical level (e.g., at the genus level).
taxagroupid
character. Identify code (four characters code)
indicating the group of taxa (e.g., TRSH for trees and shrubs or
HERB for herbs). Check list_taxagroups
for the whole list and further details.
counts
data.frame. Particles counts in a matrix format (sample x taxa). This format is more intuitive and handy for biologist (ecologist or palynologist) than the original format.
