A versioned database for leaf 13C values from across the world

This is data associated with the following paper:

Cornwell, William K., et al. "Climate and soils together regulate photosynthetic carbon isotope discrimination within C3 plants worldwide." Global Ecology and Biogeography 27.9 (2018): 1056-1067.

How to use this package

If you want to just download the data, all versions are here. Alternatively if you're an R user, the data is wrapped up in a handy little data packages. See below for how to use it.

If you have a dataset that you'd like to add, please click on issues, and then "New Issue" and write a quick description preferably with a link to the paper/data. We'll then sort out the easiest way to add those data.

Install the required packages

install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("ropenscilabs/datastorr")
devtools::install_github("wcornwell/leaf13C")
library(leaf13C)

That will install this library

local_data<-leaf13C::get_data()

This should download the most recent version of the database on to your computer and load it into R.

As the database moves forward the version number will change, but access to older versions will be possible through either this R package, the Github Releases page, or the Zenodo DOIs.
