richness would be more precise, I think?

sdtaylor commented 8 years ago

speciestotal in the counts file is the abundance of that species.

Maybe your thinking of TotalSpp in weather.csv which is the richness.

speciestotal in BBS is the abundance field for the entire route. That's why there's one per site per species.

Oops, @sdtaylor beat me to it! The hazards of responding via email.
