\title{Tree spatial pattern in control plot 15, Paracou experimental station, French Guiana}
\description{
Spatial pattern of 4128 trees of 332 different species in a 250 m X 250 m control plot in Paracou experimental station, French Guiana. 
}
\usage{data(Paracou15)}
\format{
A list with 5 components:\cr
\code{$rect     } is a vector of coordinates \eqn{(xmin,ymin,xmax,ymax)} of the origin and the opposite corner of a 250 by 250 m rectangular plot.\cr
\code{$trees    } is a list of tree coordinates \eqn{(x,y)}.\cr
\code{$species  } is a factor with 332 levels corresponding to species names of the trees.\cr
\code{$spdist } is an object of class \code{"dist"} giving between-species distances based on functional traits (see Paine et al. 2011).\cr
