Number of quadrats sampled per plot

I moved this from a later section because the filtering process removed quadrats that did not capture any species. Rows labeled as “None” were removed, suggesting that the number of quadrats sampled per plot is not consistent across all plots.

# Count the total number of quadrats per plot
quadrat_count <- Veg_Cover %>%
  group_by(Plot) %>%
  summarize(total_quadrats = n_distinct(Quadrat), .groups = "drop")

Filter All data to only include specified species (Per PLANTS database)

#Filter tree data to only include trees with "tree" in the growth column
tree_data <- dplyr::filter(tree_data, Growth == "Tree")

#Filter Veg Cover to exclude Shrubs and Trees
Veg_Cover <- dplyr::filter(Veg_Cover, Growth != "Shrub" & Growth != "Tree")

#Filter Shrub Cover to only include Shrubs and Trees
shrub_data <- dplyr::filter(shrub_data, Growth == "Shrub" | Growth == "Tree")

Filter all data to only include species found at 3% of all sites

# Calculate the total number of sites
total_sites <- nrow(CameraLoc)

# Function to filter data by frequency
filter_by_frequency <- function(df) {
  # Group data by species and calculate the frequency
  freq <- df %>%
    group_by(Species) %>%

  # Filter the original data to include only species with frequency >= 3%
  filtered_df <- df %>%
    filter(Species %in% freq$Species)
  
  return(filtered_df)
}
