traits_eco

<code>traits_eco</code> defines a list containg pairs in the form
short_name_of_the_trait =
corresponding_code_in_Ecoflora At the moment the
package does not download all the traits available at
Ecoflora; curious users can expand the number of
downloadable traits simply extending the list with other
'pairs' (take care of using the right <code>Ecoflora codes</code>
as described in
http://www.ecoflora.co.uk/search_plantchar.php).

datasets

Plant ecologists often need to collect "traits" data
about plant species which are often scattered among various
databases: TR8 contains a set of tools which take care of
automatically retrieving some of those functional traits data
for plant species from publicly available databases (Biolflor,
The Ecological Flora of the British Isles, LEDA traitbase, Ellenberg
values for Italian Flora, Mycorrhizal intensity databases, Catminat, BROT,
PLANTS, Jepson Flora Project).
The TR8 name, inspired by "car plates" jokes, was chosen since
it both reminds of the main object of the package and is
extremely short to type.
