*Changes to version 1.2* - Corrected final selection of plots in header. Only plots with CWM info are retained, but no minimum trait coverage threshold is used.
*Changes to version 1.3* - Resolved species list from xylem_data using TNRS to improve matching. Account for unresolved species when calculating the proportion of species with traits used for calculating CWMs. Relative covers are not normalized to 100% by plot x layer.

This report documents the data extraction for **sPlot project proposal #31** - *The adaptive value of xylem physiology within and across global ecoregions* as requested by Daniel Laughlin and Jesse Robert Fleri

Create list of species to submit to [TNRS](https://tnrs.biendata.org/) for taxonomic standardization
There are `r xylem_data %>% filter(Species != Coalesced_Species) %>% nrow()` which changed names after taxonomic resolution.

Attach synonyms to the bottom of xylem data to maximize matching with sPlot. After standardization, some species have multiple entries for traits. Calculate species level means
