## Dataset of Information on each Species found in the BCI 50 HA plot

### Description

A tabulation of information on each species found during all cenuses of the BCI 50 HA plot. Information currently includes taxonomic levels, growth form, size at reproductions, breed system and maximum height. The information for each species is derived from various sources.

### Usage

    data(bcispp.info)

### Format

A dataframe with 318 rows and 8 columns

rowname
  a character vector, 6 letter code for a species name: genus is 2 letters and species is 4. Names with numbers indicate species that have yet to be formally named. Names may be upper or lower case but `rowname` and `sp` are of the same case.
sp
  a character vector, identical to rowname
genus
  a character vector, full latin Genus name
species
  a character vector, full latin Species name
family
  a character vector, full latin Family name
grform
  a character vector
repsize
  a numeric vector
breedsys
  a character vector
maxht
  a numeric vector

### Details

`bcispp.info` variables have the following values:

grform
  the growth form of a species, derived from knowledge of the species at this site and elsewhere.

Code | Growth Form | Number of Species
H | herb | 2
M | main canopy | 75
S | shrub | 59
T | treelet | 108
U | understorey | 64
Z | unknown | 4
“.” | other missing | 6

breedsys
  the breeding system of the species, derived from knowledge of the species at this site an elsewhere.

Code | Breeding System | Number of Species
B | bisexual | 202
D | dioecious | 64
M | monecious | 35
P | polygamous | 11
“.” | other missing | 6

repsize
  the size of the tree upon reproduction, DBH in cm, derived from knowledge of the species at this site and elsewhere.
maxht
  the maximum height achieved by a species, derived from knowledge of the speices at this site and elsewhere.
