Function to average the functional trait data of a group of species

Description

This function averages the functional trait data (SLA, ARNODE, LOGCANH, LOGCAND, VEGPROP) of entered species. This should be used to average data of taxa whose identification is not to species level.

Usage

ave_wdata(newname, species1, species2, species3 = NULL, species4 = NULL)

Arguments

newname	The code of the composite species to be created
species1	The four-three code of the first species to be averaged
species2	The four-three code of the second species to be averaged
species3	The four-three code of the third species to be averaged
species4	The four-three code of the fourth species to be averaged

Details

It is highly recommended that species are only averaged if their functional attributes are similar.

Value

a data frame containing the averaged SLA, ARNODE, LOGCANH, LOGCAND and VEGPROP of the entered species.
