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"),
  ...
)
