Need to add distribution data #30

Closed dschwilk closed 7 years ago

dschwilk commented 7 years ago

We don't yet have tree distribution data in the repo for niche modelling. I assume it should go here rather than in the climate repo. In any case, the analyses will require using the climate repo outputs.

We have plot data now, but @hpoulos indicated that some corrections are needed in email on 2/28/17

I also want to suggest that if possible, it might be nice to have the raw data (eg trees/stems as observations and do all the summarizing by plot and species in code). Easier to correct mistakes then or to change how we summarize. But ok if you are not comfortable with that. Just a thought as I assume that data must already be clean and checked and straightforward to include. Also would allow us to modify questions to ask things about size classes, etc but I know we probably won't want to do that.

Data corrected as of 1a7f4d8

Data added, closing. Note that we should use the UTM version of the coordinates, not the lat-longs as provided in the csv files (see #33)
