acacia

Spatial pattern analysis in plant communities


Description

Counts of individuals of Acacia ehrenbergiana from five parallel transects of 32 quadrats.

Usage

data(acacia)

Format

acacia is a data frame with 15 variables :
se.T1, se.T2, se.T3, se.T4, se.T5 are five numeric vectors containing quadrats counts of seedlings from transects 1 to 5 respectively;
sm.T1, sm.T2, sm.T3, sm.T4, sm.T5 are five numeric vectors containing quadrats counts of small trees (crown < 1 m^2 in canopy) of transects 1 to 5 respectively;
la.T1, la.T2, la.T3, la.T4, la.T5 are five numeric vectors containing quadrats counts of trees with large crown (crown > 1 m^2 in canopy) of transects 1 to 5 respectively.
