Legendre and Gallagher Synthetic Example

Description

A data set used as a synthetic example in paper Legendre and Gallagher (2001).

Usage

data(LGDat)

Format

A 19 rows by 10 columns data.frame.

Details

This synthetic data set is described by Legendre and Gallagher (2001) and was used to test species abundance transformations. Its first column contains geographic locations from 1 to 19 (no particular units are specified). The five columns that follow contain abundances of five species with abundances peaking at 7-8 at different locations (site 1, 5, 10, 15, and 19). The latter are considered "abundant species". For next four columns contains abundances of "rare species" occurring in between the abundance species (abundances from 1 to 4).
