tank_comm {mobr}

Cattle tank data set

Description

Species counts of aquatic macro-invertebrates from experimental freshwater ponds ("cattle tanks") with two different nutrient treatments.

Details

tank_comm is a site-by-species matrix with individual counts.

tank_plot_attr is a data frame with corresponding site variables. The column group specifies whether a pond has received a "high" or "low" nutrient treatment. The columns x and y contain the spatial coordinates of the sites.

The data were adapted from Chase (2010).
