FW: averaging two tables (rows with columns)

Hi R-usuar,
I still find the table is not in readable formate. I now forwarded the email.hope it works. I sent it to my
account . It was perfect- but when I sent it to R help- then it comes with unreadable formate. This is my last
try. If not, then I will try to do in Excel manually. cheers,

Hi John , Petr and R userI am sorry that my data was not readable formate in the last email. Agin I am trying to
send it. hope this time, that  table can be readable.
As I mentioned earlier that I was struggling to figure out on how I can calculate the average from the two
tables in R. Any one can help me? really your helpwould be grateful- I am spending so much time to figure it
out. It should not be so hard, I think.I have very big data but I have created a hypothetical data for
simplification.for example
I have : table 1
Table 1: species occurrence data> table1      X speciesX speciesY speciesZ speciesXX1 Plot1        1        0        1         02 Plot2        0        1        1         03
plot3        1        0        0         14 plot4        0        0        1         0

Table 2: table 2. species tolerance data
>table2                  X EnviA EnviB EnviC1  SpeciesX  0.21  0.40  0.172  SpeciesY  0.10  0.15  0.183 SpeciesXY  0.14  0.16  0.19

You may noticed that table 2 does not have species Z which was in table

Table 3: Now I want to get the average value of species tolerance in each plot based on each environmental
value (EnviA or EnviB etc).The example of the out come (final table I was looking for it).
Results table 1a: averages species tolerance in each plot based on EnviA
such as: 
> table3.a      X speciesX speciesY speciesZ speciesXX average1 plot1     0.21       NA   Nodata      0.14   0.1752 plot2       NA      0.1  
Nodata        NA   0.1003 plot3       NA       NA   Nodata      0.14   0.1404 plot4     0.21       NA   Nodata        NA   0.210Table 4

> table3.b: Result table 1b: average species tolerance in plot based on EnviB      X speciesX speciesY speciesZ
speciesXX average1 plot1      0.4       NA   Nodata      0.16    0.282 plot2       NA     0.15   Nodata        NA    0.153 plot3       NA       NA   Nodata      0.16   
0.164 plot4      0.4       NA   Nodata        NA    0.40
I hope this time the data would be readable formate. Would any one help me how I can calculate these?Thanks
