This may be quite simple but my knowledge of R is somewhat lacking so I would really appreciate some help. Here goes: I have 6 columns (Site, Year, Plot, Lawn, Tussock, Grass). My rows are as follows: I have 2 sites (high and low). For every site, I have 3 years (2013, 2014 and 2015). For every year, I have 5 plots (1,2,3,4,5). I then have the average height for Lawn, Tussock and Grass for each of those rows, e.g.:
Site Year Plot Lawn Tussock Grass
High 2013 1 5.43 36.98 10.16
High 2013 2 2.66 66.18 5.95
High 2013 3 2.73 44.08 6.59
High 2013 4 2.75 45.42 6.55
High 2013 5 4.44 33.26 7.97
High 2014 1 8.32 34.47 11.62
High 2014 2 6.22 28.78 8.41
High 2014 3 8.74 43.39 16.26
High 2014 4 4.19 30.88 8.96
High 2014 5 5.74 22.42 7.68
How do I go about getting an average value for Lawn, Tussock and Grass for each year for each site? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
