k-means clustering and hierarchical clustering (Plantae)

Local Knowledge Graph (14 entities)

Knowledge graph centered on k-means clustering and hierarchical clustering (Plantae) with 14 nodes and 28 connections. Top connected: climate change effects on species interactions, specific leaf area, leaf economics spectrum, plant functional groups, trait-based ecology.

Description

Alternative species groupings using k-means and hierarchical agglomerative clustering based on multivariate trait data. Compared explanatory power and species composition to traditional functional groups.

Typical Equipment

• R package 'vegan'

Output Measurements

• species cluster assignments
• variance explained
