A multiscale spectral composition and environmental dataset from Parc National du Mont-Mégantic, Québec, Canada

SpectraCommAsmbly: Scale explicit community assembly using spectral data This repository is meant to support the manuscript: "Testing the scale dependence of plant community assembly processes using imaging spectroscopy." DOI: 10.1098/rspb.2025.2555 Components The repository contains four data files: README_data_SpecCommAsmbly.pdf SpecCommAsmbly_metadata.csv SpecCommAsmbly_spec_comp_dataset.csv SpecCommAsmbly_envr_dataset.csv and four R scripts: Fit RDA models (01_RDA_models) Fit MRM models (02_MRM_models) Examine variance in composition and environment across scales (03_Data_variance_across_scales) Examine importance of environmental predictors (04_Envr_importance) How to use This repository is meant to be a reasonably well-documented record of the data and analyses carried out in the manuscript detailed above. The data were collected as part of the Canadian Airborne Biodiversity Observatory and are shared under a Creative Commons Attribution (CC-BY) license.
