#' Vegetation and site data from Mount Field, Tasmania, collected by Peter
#'     Minchin. Taxonomic treatment as recorded in 1983. This is a subset of the
#'     original 438 sample units and 221 species.
#'
#' @format
#' A list of 2 data.frames:\cr
#'     - \code{spe} Species abundance matrix: 424 observations of 209 vascular
#'     plant species.  Values are cover classes (midpoints = 0.05, 0.55, 5.5,
#'     20, 50, 85 percent).\cr
#'     - \code{env} Environmental matrix: 424 observations of 4 environmental
#'     variables describing topography (altitude, drainage, radiation, slope).
