PFF_tree: Phylogenetic Tree of 133 Plant Species from Pine Forest Flora

Description

A phylogenetic tree containing 133 plant species from a pine forest flora study. The tree includes both tip and node labels, is rooted, and contains branch lengths.

Usage

PFF_tree

Arguments

Format

A phylo object (phylogenetic tree) with the following structure:

tips

133 terminal nodes representing plant species

nodes

121 internal nodes with taxonomic labels

tip.label

Species names including Hymenopappus mexicanus, Heliomeris multiflora, Bahia dissecta, etc.

node.label

Taxonomic group names including Spermatophyta, eudicotyledons, Pentapetalae, etc.

edge.length

Branch lengths indicating evolutionary distances

root

Tree is rooted

Details

This phylogenetic tree represents the evolutionary relationships among 133 plant species found in pine forest ecosystems. The tree structure includes:

  • 133 terminal taxa (tip labels with species names)

  • 121 internal nodes with higher-level taxonomic classifications

  • Branch lengths representing evolutionary time or genetic distance

  • Root indicating the common ancestor of all included species

The tree was constructed as part of a comprehensive study examining plant functional strategies in pine forest communities, specifically testing the leaf-height-seed (LHS) plant strategy scheme proposed in functional ecology.
