Ecological Data : sites-variables, sites-species, where and when

Description

This data set contains information about sites, environmental variables and Ephemeroptera Species.

Usage

data(meaudret)

Format

meaudret is a list of 4 components.

env

is a data frame with 20 sites and 9 variables.

fau

is a data frame with 20 sites and 13 Ephemeroptera Species.

design

is a data frame with 20 sites and 2 factors.

• season is a factor with 4 levels = seasons.

• site is a factor with 5 levels = sites along the Meaudret river.

spe.names

is a character vector containing the names of the 13 species.

Details

Data set equivalents to meau: site (6) on the Bourne (a Meaudret affluent) and oxygen concentration were removed.
