mergePlantSurveysPlotSurveys: fill occupancy plot surveys with info from plant surveys

In ksauby/GTMNERRproc: Data processing functions for GTMNERR data.

Description

This data is from when I was specifically doing occupancy plot surveys. Specific rules for filling the plot surveys:

• percent cover: get from plot survey data; if no plot survey data for that tag number and date, fill with NA

• height: get from plot survey data; if it was not recorded in the plot survey then use max. plant height from the plant survey data

• insect presence/absence: get from plot survey data; if it was not recorded in the plot survey then use max. plant height from the plant survey data

• limit to plot surveys after Dec. 2, 2012 (I wasn't surveying individual plants before this)

• limit to Tag_Numbers that have marked plants

Usage

mergePlantSurveysPlotSurveys(Plot.Surveys, Plant.Surveys, date.window = 48)
