BIEN_occurrence_box function

Extract species occurrence records by a latitude/longitude bounding box.

BIEN_occurrence_box extracts occurrences records falling within the specific area.

BIEN_occurrence_box(
  min.lat,
  max.lat,
  min.long,
  max.long,
  species = NULL,
  genus = NULL,
  cultivated = FALSE,
  new.world = NULL,
  all.taxonomy = FALSE,
  native.status = FALSE,
  natives.only = TRUE,
  observation.type = FALSE,
  political.boundaries = TRUE,
  collection.info = FALSE,
  ...
)

Arguments

• min.lat: Minimum latitude
• max.lat: Maximum latitude
• min.long: Minimum longitude
• max.long: Maximum longitude
• species: Optional. A single species or a vector of species.
• genus: Optional. A single genus or a vector of genera.
• cultivated: Return known cultivated records as well? Default is FALSE.
• new.world: NULL (The default) returns global records, TRUE returns only New World, and FALSE only Old World.
• all.taxonomy: Return all taxonomic information? This includes the raw data as well as the "scrubbed" data.
• native.status: Return information on introduction status? The default value is FALSE. A value of TRUE also returns additional information on introduction status.
• natives.only: Exclude detected introduced species? Default is TRUE.
• observation.type: Return information on type of observation (i.e. specimen vs. plot)? The default value is FALSE.
• political.boundaries: Return information on political boundaries for an observation? The default value is FALSE.
• collection.info: Return additional information about collection and identification? The default value is FALSE.
• ...: Additional arguments passed to internal functions.

Returns

Dataframe containing occurrence records for the specified area.

Note

US FIA coordinates have been fuzzed and swapped, for more details see: https://www.fia.fs.fed.us/tools-data/spatial/Policy/index.php

Specifying species and/or genera will limit records returned to that set of taxa.

Examples
