comm

Community matrix of Australian Acacia (dataframe). Column names are specific epithet of each species. Row names are centroids of 50km grid cells in Australian Albers equal area EPSG:3577 projection. 3037 rows (sites) x 506 columns (species). Data are counts, i.e., the number of times a species was observed in a grid cell.
