Practical technical application of R language in the field of ecological environment


As an emerging statistical software, R language is popular all over the world with its characteristics of open source, freedom and free. The research content in the field of ecological environment is extensive, and the data are often diverse and complex. It is the advantage of R to use R language to conduct multivariate statistical analysis, discover laws and explore mechanisms from complex phenomena. To this end, this tutorial takes diverse ecological environment data such as fish, insects, hydrology, and terrain as examples. Based on the introduction of basic operations in R language, multiple programs such as vegan, ade4, adespatial, stats, cluster, and dendextend are used. Package analysis of data distribution, correlation, regression, clustering, sorting, spatial structure and community diversity, etc., interpretation of the results and ecological significance, and integration of data analysis and graphing display, guide readers to be able to use systematically R language conducts multi-faceted analysis and exploration in the field of ecological environment.
