spataustria: Tree locations within sample plots in an experimental forest in Austria

Description

The Austrian Research Center for Forests established a spacing experiment with Norway spruce (Picea abies) in the Vienna Woods. In the ``Hauersteig'' experiment, several tree-level variables were measured within four sample plots over time. The current dataframe has only the measurements carried out in 1944, for all years see biometrics::spatimepsp.

Usage

data(spataustria)

Format

Contains cartesian position of trees, and covariates, in sample plots, as follows:

plot

Plot number.

tree

Tree number.

species

Species code as follows: PCAB=Picea abies, LADC=Larix decidua, PNSY=Pinus sylvestris, FASY=Fagus Sylvatica, QCPE=Quercus petraea, BTPE=Betula pendula.

x.coord

Cartesian position in the X-axis, in m.

y.coord

Cartesian position in the Y-axis, in m.

year

Measurement year.

dbh

Diameter at breast-height, in cm.
