Abstract
This work demonstrates the utilization of R and the interactive Shiny application in RStudio to visualize and simulate changes in alpine plant and functional trait distribution in correlation with temperature data. In the RAPT (Researching Alpine Plant Traits) project, we collected field data on species and trait distribution along an elevational gradient of Sg`oran Dubh M`or in Scotland’s Cairngorm Mountains. Visualization of the data were plotted onto Google Maps in Shiny to represent plant trait data evaluated with temperature data. Visual and interactive R Shiny models are valuable in illustrating and predicting the effects of temperature change on alpine plants.
