TR8-package {TR8} | R Documentation |
TR8: a tool for retrieving functional traits data for plant species.
Description
This package provide a set of functions for extracting traits data for plant species from the following sources:
Biolflor ‘http://www.ufz.de/biolflor/index.jsp’
Ecological Flora of the British Isles ‘http://www.ecoflora.co.uk/’
LEDA traitbase ‘http://www.leda-traitbase.org/LEDAportal/’
Ellenberg values for Italian Flora
Mycorrhizal intensity database

Details
Package: | TR8 |
Type: | Package |
Version: | 0.9.22 |

License: | GPL>=2 |
Depends: | XML, RCurl, plyr, readxl |
The easiest way of using the package is through the
tr8()
function, which accepts a vector of plant
species names and returns a data frame containg traits data
which have been found in the various sources.
The TR8 name, inspired by "car plates" jokes, was chosen since
it both reminds of the main object of the package and is
extremely short to type.
