Data Sources

Soil-DRaH is currently working with the following data sources:

• CPEAT
• FIA
• ISCN3
• NRCS-NCSS (Web of Soil version)

Additional data sources may be suggested in the Issues. Please see these instructions for how to open a new issue to suggest additional data sources.

Installation

This is currently not a functional R package and the scripts must be run directly in R. Please fork this repository to work with the functions created here.

Usage

Each data source has an associated read function in the R folder. In addition there is an article under vignettes/articles that gives an example of the use of the read function in the context of a data workflow.

The data workflow is further described in the wiki
