Description

Utilities mainly useful in floristic mapping, herbarium digitizing (geocoding) and data base maintenance.

Details

An R-package providing tools for the »Salzburger Botanische Arbeitsgemeinschaft« (SaBotAg). It is aimed at botanists concerned with floristic mapping. The packages provides classes to handle distribution data. They are explicitly Spatial and built upon packages ‘sp’ and ‘raster’. Time is managed properly, as well as customizable symbology.

The package has the following functionality.

• floragrid and floragridlines: Create mapping grid for the recording of the vascular plant flora in Central Europe (“Kartierung der Flora Mitteleuropas”) according to Niklfeld (1971); in Austria generally known as “Raster der floristischen Kartierung” or briefly “(Floren-)Quadranten”.

• lnglat2gridcell: Query grid cell identifier (“Quadranten-Nummer”) of mapping grid by providing coordinates.

• gridcell2lnglat: Query coordinates of mapping grid by providing grid cell identifier

• formatGridcell and deparseGridcell: Work with grid cell identifier.

• background: Configure a map background with topography, waterbodies and mapping grid just by passing a map extent. This functions uses data set provided by package sabotagdata.

• elevation: query Open-Elevation server for elevation data.

• nominatim2: query OpenStreetMap server for locality descriptions.

• zobodat: query Zobodat voucher data base.

• bergfex: query Bergfex server for Austrian toponyms.

• safapi: query locality description (reverse geocoding) using Albin Blaschka's private server.
