tidyFIA

Install

At this time you must install the tidyFIA package via GitHub.

devtools::install_github("SilviaTerra/tidyFIA")

Usage

The main function is tidy_fia which will download and import the specified tables from FIADB that correspond to an area of interest represented by a geospatial object in R (class sf) or a list of state abbreviations (e.g. c("CA", "NV")).

To get started you can simply run this example command to get the FIA tables for the state of Minnesota:

mn_data <- tidyFIA::tidy_fia(
  states = "MN"
)

The example will download these tables by default: "PLOT", "SUBPLOT", "COND", "TREE", "SURVEY"

Each table is an element in the list mn_data. To use one of the tables you call them like this:

mn_data[["PLOT"]]
mn_data[["TREE"]]
...
