Retained Carbon in Beech Trees

Source: R/AgainStart.R

The carbon retained by leaves measured in kg/ha is recorded for forty-one different plots of mountainous regions of Navarre (Spain), depending on the forest classification: areas with 90% or more beech trees (Fagus Sylvatica) are labeled monospecific, while areas with many species of trees are labeled multispecific.

FAGUS

Format

A data frame with 41 observations on the following 3 variables:

  • plot (plot number)

  • carbon (carbon retained by leaves measured in kg/ha)

  • type (a factor with levels monospecific and multispecific)

Source

Gobierno de Navarra and Gestion Ambiental Viveros y Repoblaciones de Navarra, 2006. The data were obtained within the European Project FORSEE.
