species_bw {forestecology}

Phylogenic groupings and trait based clustering of various tree species

Description

A date frame mapping the species codes to their common names, scientific names, and families. This also includes a trait-based clustering of the species.

Usage

species_bw

Format

A data frame with 46 rows and 6 variables:

sp

The code for the species. Link to census_2008_bw and census_2014_bw with sp variable.

genus

Genus

species

Species epithet

latin

Scientific name

family

Family

trait_group

Clustering of species based on three traits rather than their evolutionary relationships. The traits are specific leaf area, maximum height, and wood density
