Vegetation-Plots Sampled in Four Syntaxa

Description

Data set collected in several stands of vegetation belonging to four phytosociological, namely Eleocharito-Caricetum bohemicae (class Isoëto-Nanojuncetea), Gentiano-Koelerietum pyramidetae (class Festuco-Brometea), Mesobrometum (class Festuco-Brometea), and Alliario-Chaerophylletum temuli (class Galio-Urticetea).

The data set is stored as a list, including four data frames: Head whit plots information, RelevesList including the abundance of species in single plots (as a column oriented table), SpeciesList with the information of single species, and CoverConversion with the conversion table for Braun-Blanquet abundance to percentage cover.

This data set is offered as alternative for examples working with Ellenberg's indicator values (EIV) and life forms. The analysis of those data was published in (Alvarez et al. 2013).
