Resting! 🐶🚁❤️

#Splot

This week I have attended the workshop of sPlot, the Global Vegetation Database, in Halle, Germany, where I could present my upcoming project about tree diversity and plant functional types across the forests of the temperate biome!

#sPlot #VegBioLab

The most gritty & grimey SPLOT coming up — including a true phenomenon in the modern dj scene of UK showing how it’s done. Neffa-T at Ciało club soon.

iDiv - Show Dataset: sPlotOpen – An environmentally-balanced, open-access, global dataset of vegetation plots

This problem is now fixed in #sPlot v4 but also in #sPlotOpen v2 😀 See the link ⬇️ that should lead you straight to v2 thanks to Francesco Maria Sabatini who did a great job fixing this issue first reported by Evan Frieke when playing w/ #sPlotOpen data 🌐🧪

So far, this corrupted data covers only a small fraction of the #sPlot database (<1%) & the sPlot core team has been working on it actively since it was first spotted

We need to cross-check carefully but as far as I know from the team that is working hard on the database, this type of error is minor and being fixed when encountered 👍 So far, only SALVIAS dat were corrupted to the best of our knowledge in the #sPlot team

Just to ponder a bit, this error in the data covers less than 1% of the #sPlot database & it only affected species composition information, not species richness thus not affecting former sPlot findings focusing on local species richness

quite BIG if true... How many #sPlot papers was based on these corrupted data?

Improper data practices erode the quality of global ecological databases and impede the progress of ecological research With big data comes big responsibilities, and best practices for how data are contributed to databases have not kept pace with the collection, aggregation, and analysis of big data. We rigorously ass...

Actually applies to many large databases I am afraid & not just #sPlot 🌐 For instance #TRY ⬇️

I think one important point of #sPlot data is that we are relying on true co-occurence data from community plots while many people tend to rely on occurrence only data to test community assembly at large macroecological extents

Global decoupling of functional and phylogenetic diversity in plant communities - Nature Ecology & Evolution Functional diversity and phylogenetic diversity are expected to be positively correlated. Here the authors show that the covariation between these metrics in vascular plant communities around the worl...

🌳 New findings 🌳

Phylogenetic diversity cannot be used as a proxy for functional diversity in vascular plant communities 🌲🌳🌴🌵🌱🍀🌾🌼 We used the #sPlot database & found a pronounced decoupling between phylogenetic & functional diversity ⬇️

@cogdog Does #TRUWriter #SPLOT work with the block editor in WP?

Assignment – Learning Parallelism

I'm having a moment here assessing learner work in #edci335 @EdtechUVic . One group's site is really good...just realized that they found and utilized a #SPLOT for their site. We never talked about SPLOTs in class. https://edci335pod2parallelism.opened.ca/write-3/ I blame @cogdog!

Did I just make a #SPLOT ? @cogdog @brlamb @twoodwar @TrinityWestern

.@bottomofharry looks like he is the grandmaster of @brlamb s session at #olfm2016 #splot
