Brazil_rainforests {iNEXT.beta3D}

Brazil rainforests data (datatype = "abundance" for TD, PD, and FD)

Description

This dataset includes tree species abundace counts in two rainforests (Marium and Rebio2) collected from rainforests in Brazil by Magnago et al. (2014, 2015, 2017). Within each forest, there are two assemblages/habitats (Edge and Interior). The data are slightly different from those used in Chao et al. (2023) because some species are excluded due to lack of phylogeny information.

Usage

data(Brazil_rainforests)

Format

Brazil_rainforests is a list with two species-by-assemblage data.frames/matrices. The two columns represents the Edge and Interior habitats.
A list of 2 matrices:
$ Marim is a matrix with 119 species(rows) and 2 columns ("Edge" and "Interior").
$ Rebio2 is a matrix with 118 species(rows) and 2 columns ("Edge" and "Interior").
