My talk at UseR - The challenge of combining otherpeoplesdata to create the Biomass And Allometry Database

I attended the recent useR 2016 conference at Stanford, USA, where I presented a talk on the technologies for building and distributing the Biomass And Allometry Database. All talks were recorded (see also below) and slides are available here. The talk compliments a post on the ropensci blog and our 2015 data paper in Ecology. Aside from the conference, a highlight of the trip for me was doing a bit of Ecotourism with Dr Will Cornwell in redwood forests and Californian chaparral.

Trait-based approaches in plant ecology - towards a theory of form and function

Here is a talk I presented at the workshop “Trait-based approaches to Ocean Life”, held in Copenhagen (Denmark) from 26-28 August 2013 at the Royal Danish Academy of Sciences and Letters (H.C. Andersens Boulevard 35, Copenhagen, Denmark). The workshop was organised by the Centre for Ocean Life. I was invited to give an overview of trait based approaches in plant ecology. Here’s the slides from my talk:
