AMSS dataset

Description

The African Modern Surface Samples dataset. Part of the SMPDSv2.

Usage

AMSS

Format

An object of class tbl_df (inherits from tbl, data.frame) with 38 rows and 23 columns.

Variables

source

character Source from which the data was repatriated

site_name

character Site name as given by the original authors or as defined by us where there was not an unique name given to the site

entity_name

character Entity name. An entity may be a separate core from the same site or an alternative measurement type of the same core

latitude

numeric Latitude of the sampling site, given in decimal degrees, where N is positive and S is negative

longitude

numeric Longitude of the sampling site in decimal degrees, where E is positive and W is negative

elevation

numeric Elevation of the sampling site in metres above (+) or below (-) sea level

basin_size

character Size of sampled site (e.g. lake, bog, etc.) in [km^2] or given as a categorical estimated when precise information was not recorded or was not available

site_type

character Information about type of site (e.g. cave, lake, glacial, terrestrial, etc.)

entity_type

character Information about the type of entity (e.g. composite, core top, surface sample, etc.)

ID_BIOME

numeric Unique identifier for each potential natural vegetation (PNV)

PNV (only SMPDSv2)

character Potential Natural Vegetation based on the work by \insertCitehengl2018globalsmpds
