joinStandDisturbance: compile stand disturbance data

Description

This function combines stand disturbance data for each plot. Visits without disturbances will have "None present" returned. Must run importData first.

Usage

joinStandDisturbance(
  park = "all",
  QAQC = FALSE,
  locType = c("VS", "all"),
  panels = 1:4,
  from = 2006,
  to = as.numeric(format(Sys.Date(), "%Y")),
  output = "verbose",
  eventType = c("complete", "all"),
  ...
)

panels	Allows you to select individual panels from 1 to 4. Default is all 4 panels (1:4). If more than one panel is selected, specify by c(1, 3), for example.
from	Year to start analysis, ranging from 2006 to current year
to	Year to stop analysis, ranging from 2006 to current year
output	Allows you to return all columns or just the most important columns for analysis. Valid inputs are "short" and "verbose".
eventType	Allows you to include only complete sampling events or all sampling events "complete" Default. Only include sampling events for a plot that are complete.

Examples

## Not run: 
importData()
# import 4 years of MABI stand disturbances
stand_df <- joinStandDisturbance(park = 'MABI', from = 2015, to = 2019)

# import all visits, including QAQC, from 2019 in ACAD. Only return important data fields.
acad_stand <- joinStandDisturbance(park = ACAD, from = 2019, to = 2019, QAQC = TRUE)

## End(Not run)
