npe_cm_metadata {neonPlantEcology}

Get plot information from a community matrix

Description

The npe_community_matrix() function is designed to work with the vegan package, and one of the requirements of vegan functions is that there are only numeric columns in community matrices. Therefore, all of the metatdata is collapsed into the rownames. This function allows you to extract that very basic metadata back out to a more easily interpretable data frame.
