CSR {MultiTraits}R Documentation

Calculate CSR strategy for multiple plant species

Description

This function processes a dataframe containing leaf traits (LA, LDMC, SLA) and applies the Strate_CSR function to each row.

Usage

CSR(data)

Arguments

data

A dataframe containing columns for LA (Leaf Area), LDMC (Leaf Dry Matter Content), and SLA (Specific Leaf Area).

Value

A dataframe with the original input data and additional columns:
