Searches, downloads and evaluates presence/absence of data in the SMML databases
Usage
meta_smml(x, spec_type = c("plant", "fungus"), process = TRUE)
Arguments
- x
a vector of class character containing fungal or plant species or genus names
- spec_type
a character string specifying the type of x.
Can be either "plant" or "fungus"
- process
logical, if TRUE downloading and extraction process is displayed
Value
an object of class data.frame: presence/absence
Details
Use this function before deriving data from one of the databases in order to prune your
input species vector. With pruned species vectors the functions will run faster. This is important
if x is some hundred species long.
