Description

div

Shannon diversity of plant ecology

Details

The data set contains the estimated year of deglaciation and plant diversity of 140 plots along the successional gradient of the forefield of the Ödenwinkelkees glacier (Austria). The plots (1 to 135) were established within the glacier forefield, the plots (136 to 140) were established outside the glacier forefield (i.e., age greater than 170 years). Since qad is invariant w.r.t. transformations the estimated year of these 5 plots is set to 1800.
