Hi
Could you show what is your intention with your data? What do you mean by sort data to have the same number of leaves? Do you want to trim excessive rows in both data.frames to meet such condition?
I would suggest using merge.
merge(test1, test2, by.x=c("plot", "plant"), by.y=c("plot_lai", "plant_lai"), all=TRUE)
which gives you one data.frame with rows corresponding to each plot and line
After that you could remove all rows having NA in respective columns, which ensures that there is same number of leaves in each column.
Cheers
Petr
