species_master_table {ForestElementsR} | R Documentation |
List of Supported Species in the Package ForestElementsR
Description
A data.frame
(tibble
) where each row represents a
single species which is - in principle - currently supported by the package
ForestElementsR. Each species which is coded (as a single species or a
group of species) in any of the supported species_codings
,
must also be represented in this data frame. No specific species coding,
however, must necessarily use all of the species listed here.
The internal universal species coding used in this package is defined in
the two columns genus
and species_no
(see below).
Usage
species_master_table
Format
A tibble with the following columns are:
- deciduous_conifer
Character
column with allowed valuesconif
, anddecid
for confifer and deciduous species, respectively
- genus
Character
, the genus of the species in plaintext, but always lowercase- species_no
Character
, a three digit number, always with leading zeroes, indicating the species inside the genus. A number was chosen instead of plaintext, because spelling and naming must be considered somewhat instable on that level. The order of the numbers reflects (very) roughly the importance of the species inside a given genus in Central Europe.- name_sci
