trait_pivot_longer.Rdtrait_pivot_longer "gathers" wide format data into a "tidy" format This function converts the data into long format where observations are on different rows and the type of observation is denoted by trait name. In other words, trait_pivot_longer reverts the actions of trait_pivot_wider
trait_pivot_longer(wide_data)output from trait_pivot_wider. For <= v3.0.2 list object containing wide data generated,For > v3.0.2 a tibble of wide data
A tibble in long format
If bind_trait_values or summarise_trait_means was applied prior to trait_pivot_wider for AusTraits
<= v3.0.2, trait_pivot_longer will return a tibble with fewer observations than the original traits table.
For AusTraits version >3.0.2, trait_pivot_longer will return a tibble with fewer columns than that original traits table
The excluded columns include: "unit", "replicates", "measurement_remarks", "basis_of_record", "basis_of_value"
