Details

An R-package providing tools for the »Salzburger Botanische Arbeitsgemeinschaft« (SaBotAg). The software is aimed at botanists concerned with floristic mapping. The package provides classes to handle distribution and map background data 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 ( list("Kartierung der Flora Mitteleuropas") ) according to Niklfeld (1971); in Austria generally known as list("Raster der floristischen\n", " Kartierung") or briefly list("(Floren-)Quadranten") .

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

• gridcell2lnglat : Query coordinates of mapping grid by providing by 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 sets provided by package sabotagdata.

• occurrences : Distribution data with associated plot methods.

• pretty : Find nice interval in grid schema (floragrid).

• ticks : Draw ticks based on floragrid.

• [margin}(margin.html) and labelmargin : Annotate plot margins.

• 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.

See the example here get an idea of what can be achieved with the package.
