  \code{dune} is a data frame of observations of 30 species at 20
  sites. The species names are abbreviated to 4+4 letters (see
  \code{\link{make.cepnames}}). The following names are changed from
  the original source (Jongman et al. 1987): \emph{Leontodon
  autumnalis} to \emph{Scorzoneroides}, and \emph{Potentilla
  palustris} to \emph{Comarum}.
  
  \code{dune.env} is a data frame of 20 observations on the following
  5 variables:
  \describe{
    \item{A1:}{a numeric vector of thickness of soil A1 horizon.}
    \item{Moisture:}{an ordered factor with levels: \code{1} < \code{2} <
      \code{4} < \code{5}.}
    %\item{Moisture}{\code{1} < \code{2} < \code{4} < \code{5}}
    \item{Management:}{a factor with levels: \code{BF} (Biological
      farming), \code{HF} (Hobby farming), \code{NM} (Nature
      Conservation Management), and \code{SF} (Standard Farming).}
