isc
(Package: vegdata) :
Indicate site conditions with community weighted mean values of traits or with mode of gradient classes (sum of species amplitudes).
Calculates community weightes mean trait values, like mean Ellenberg indicator values. Alternatively (method = 'mode') environmental conditions can be calculated according to th econcept of sums of amplitudes of species along ecological gradients.
taxval
(Package: vegdata) :
Handling of taxonomy in vegetation data.
Performs taxonomic valuation of species names according to synonomy, taxonomic level, unambiguity of biotic content etc. Necessary prerequisite is information about taxonomic status (synonomy) and hierarchy (next higher aggregat). Until now only applicable for reference list 'GermanSL' (>= vers. 1.1, see References Section), which is valid in Germany and adjacent countries.
This package provides a set of functions to load data from (at present Turboveg and VegetWeb) databases. It is also possible to semi-automatically check and adapt scientific plant names (with appropriate reference lists) and to produce a syntaxonomic (rel/abs) frequency table.
tv.veg
(Package: vegdata) :
Tabulates vegetation tables from Turboveg database
Tabulates vegetation tables from Turboveg resp. VegetWeb database, including taxonomic emendation and layer combination. Using various default parameters for the included functions. It is a wrapper for tv.obs, taxval, tv.coverperc.
