Plant Diversity in Forest Gaps on the Robinson Crusoe Island

Description

Data set with floristic composition, size and type of gaps sampled in forest stands of the Robinson Crusoe Island (Chile).

The data is contained in two separated objects. The vegetation table (rc_gaps) is formatted as a presence/absence matrix with the gaps (units) as rows and the species as columns. The data frame rc_gaps.env contains information about the surface size of the gaps (in squared metres), the type and the size rank (see Vargas et al. 2013).
