DATA ANALYSIS OF VEGETATION DATA

I. METHODS BACKGROUND

- Vegetation patterns and Ecological variability

-Field collection of vegetation data

-Multidimensional character of vegetation data

-Types of data (categorical vs quantitative,

abundances, frequencies) and pre-analysis, data preparation (data cleaning, outliers, transformation, standardization, exploratory data analysis).

-Ecological similarity (indices of ecological similarity and distance between samples).

-Major types of multivariate analyses (Ordination, Clustering)

-Applications of multivariate analyses in conservation, management, and restoration

II. IMPLEMENTATION WITH R

• Introduction to R language

• Packages and Functions in vegetation analyses

• Examples applied to the case study
