Converts the aravo data of the ade4 package (Choler 2005) into the long format used by tidydiversity: 82 alpine plant species in 75 sites in the Aravo valley (French Alps), with 6 site variables (including snowmelt date, Snow, and physical disturbance, PhysD) and 8 functional traits. The data are loaded from ade4, not copied into tidydiversity.

Usage

data_aravo()

Value

A list with community (a tibble with site, species, cover (abundance class 0-5) and the site variables) and traits (a tibble with species and the 8 traits).
