Obtain a list of all Environmental Characteristics of ILTER sites.

This function obtains all Environmental Characteristics: title, URI, geo-coordinates, country name, and elevation of all ILTER sites (more than 1200 around the world), through the DEIMS-SDR API.

This function gathers in a unique tibble all the Environmental Characteristics from all ILTER sites. Note that the execution time for this function is very high.

If the objective is obtain information about Environmental Characteristics on a few sites, it is better to use other more specific functions (e.g. get_network_envcharacts() or get_site_info()) or using other methods (How to about sites informations).

Usage

get_ilter_envcharacts(sitesNum = 0)

Arguments

sitesNum

A integer. The number of the sites that are read to get the information. Use this parameter only to get a sample of the output of this function. If the value of sitesNum is 0 (default) all the ILTER sites will be parsed and the waiting time will be long.

Value

The output of the function is a tibble containing all the Environmental Characteristics of ILTER's sites.
