Functional distances between pairs of species of Paracou field station plots 6 and 18, two 1-ha plots inventoried by the Bridge project.

This dataset is from Paracou field station, French Guiana, managed by Cirad. Traits are detailed in Marcon and Herault (2014), the distance matrix was built following Paine et al. (2011).
