Add British and Irish bryophyte attributes (BRYOATT)

Joins attributes of British and Irish mosses, liverworts and hornworts (Hill et al. 2007) to a taxify() result by looking up accepted_name. Bryophytes are otherwise almost absent from the bundled trait databases.

Usage

add_bryoatt(x, cols = NULL, verbose = TRUE)

Arguments

x

A data.frame returned by taxify().

cols

Which columns to attach: NULL (default) the curated set, "all" every column the source carries, or a character vector of names. See enrichment_cols.

verbose

Logical. Default TRUE.

Value

The same data.frame with additional columns. The default set:

bryoatt_ellenberg_light, bryoatt_ellenberg_moisture, bryoatt_ellenberg_reaction, bryoatt_ellenberg_nitrogen, bryoatt_ellenberg_salt

Ellenberg indicator values calibrated for British and Irish bryophytes.

bryoatt_life_form

Life-form code, kept verbatim (Ts, Mr, Ms, ...).

bryoatt_plant_group

Plant group: M moss, L liverwort, H hornwort.

bryoatt_status

Status code, kept verbatim (N native, AN alien naturalised, AR archaeophyte).

Details

1,194 taxa. The vascular-plant companion is add_plantatt().

This source states no licence (it is copyright the Biological Records Centre), so taxify ships no pre-built copy of it. The first call builds it from the original source on your own machine, which requires the taxifydb package (remotes::install_github("gcol33/taxifydb")). taxify redistributes none of the data. Cite Hill et al. (2007) when you use it.
