Usage

joinStandData(
  park = "all",
  QAQC = FALSE,
  locType = "VS",
  panels = 1:4,
  from = 2006,
  to = 2019,
  output,
  ...
)

Arguments

park	Combine data from all parks or one park at a time. Acceptable options are: "all" Includes all parks in the network "ACAD" Acadia NP only "MABI" Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller NHP only "MIMA" Minute Man NHP only "MORR" Morristown NHP only "ROVA" Roosevelt-Vanderbilt NHS only "SAGA" Saint-Gaudens NHS only "SARA" Saratoga NHP only "WEFA" Weir Farm NHS only

to	Year to stop analysis, ranging from 2006-2019

Value

returns a dataframe with stand data attached to location and event data. Field names starting with "Pct" are midpoints between cover class ranges (e.g., 62.5 is the midpoint for 50-75

importData() #imports using default odbc
stand_df <- joinStandData(park = 'MABI', from = 2015, to = 2019)
