Arguments
Format
A list with 5 components: $rect is a vector of coordinates \((xmin,ymin,xmax,ymax)\) of the origin and the opposite corner of a 250 by 250 m rectangular plot. $trees is a list of tree coordinates \((x,y)\). $species is a factor with 332 levels corresponding to species names of the trees. $spdist is an object of class "dist" giving between-species distances based on functional traits (see Paine et al. 2011).
