πŸ“š Data

This project uses data from the Norwood Farm project β€” Pocock et al. (2012), doi.org/10.5061/dryad.3s36r118. The data describes species and their interactions across the farm's different habitats.

🌱 Raw data

A closer look at each of the four raw input files, with a preview of what they contain.

The raw data consists of four files, stored in Data/Raw_data/:

PLANT_HABITAT3.csv

Plant abundances recorded in each habitat.
