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:
C: Competitive strategy score
S: Stress-tolerant strategy score
R: Ruderal strategy score
type: The dominant CSR strategy type
