BIEN_occurrence_box {BIEN}

Extract species occurrence records by a latitude/longitude bounding box.

Description

BIEN_occurrence_box extracts occurrences records falling within the specific area.

Usage

BIEN_occurrence_box(
  min.lat,
  max.lat,
  min.long,
  max.long,
  species = NULL,
  genus = NULL,
  cultivated = FALSE,
  new.world = NULL,
  all.taxonomy = FALSE,
  native.status = FALSE,
  natives.only = TRUE,
  observation.type = FALSE,
  political.boundaries = TRUE,
  collection.info = FALSE,
  ...
)

Arguments

min.lat

Minimum latitude

max.lat

Maximum latitude

min.long

Minimum longitude

max.long

Maximum longitude

species

Optional. A single species or a vector of species.

genus

Optional. A single genus or a vector of genera.

cultivated

Return known cultivated records as well? Default is FALSE.

new.world

NULL (The default) returns global records, TRUE returns only New World, and FALSE only Old World.

all.taxonomy

Return all taxonomic information? This includes the raw data as well as the "scrubbed" data.

native.status

Return information on introduction status? The default value is FALSE. A value of TRUE also returns additional information on introduction status.

natives.only

Exclude detected introduced species? Default is TRUE.

observation.type

Return information on type of observation (i.e. specimen vs. plot)? The default value is FALSE.

political.boundaries

Return information on political boundaries for an observation? The default value is FALSE.

collection.info

Return additional information about collection and identification? The default value is FALSE.

Value

Dataframe containing occurrence records for the specified area.

Note

US FIA coordinates have been fuzzed and swapped, for more details see: https://www.fia.fs.fed.us/tools-data/spatial/Policy/index.php

Specifying species and/or genera will limit records returned to that set of taxa.
