In ForestPlots/BiomasaFP: BiomasaFP: Functions for analysing data downloaded from ForestPlots.net

Read and merge data downloaded from ForestPlots.net

Description

mergefp merges the 3 datasets needed for estimating biomass: Census Data (trees), Metadata (md), wood density from each individual tree (wd). The three datasets have to be donwloaded from ForestPlots.net. This function can use data frames and as well as file paths as input objects.

Usage

mergefp(trees, md, wd)

CleaningCensusInfo(dfmerged)

Arguments

trees	an individual tree data file downloaded from the "Advanced Search". Can be a dataframe or a character indicating the file path.
md	a metadata file downloaded from the "Query Library". Can be a dataframe or a character indicating the file path.
wd	a wood density file, with the wood density for each individual tree by PlotViewID downloaded from the "Query Library". Can be a dataframe or a character indicating the file path.
dfmerged	Merged dataframe returned by mergefp.
