Island: Island properties through time

In thauffe/simGDM: simGDM

Description

Island properties from Whittaker et al. (2008). Data captured from Supplement 1, Figure S3 of Borregaard et al. (2016).

Usage

data(Island)

Format

A data.frame with 5000 rows and 4 columns. Rows represent 5 million years of island evolution and columns measures of area, elevation and topographic complexity in arbitrary units bounded [0,1].
