We learned about the components of a proj4 string. When Vector Data Don’t Line Up - Handling Spatial Projection & CRS in R

Next, let’s explore the dataframe to determine whether it contains columns with coordinate values. Note that all of our character data was imported into R as factor (categorical) data. We now have a data frame that contains 21 locations (rows) and 16 variables (attributes). $ soilTypeOr: chr "Inceptisols" "Inceptisols" "Inceptisols" "Histosols". $ subtype : chr "basePlot" "basePlot" "basePlot" "basePlot". $ plotType : chr "distributed" "tower" "tower" "tower". $ siteID : chr "HARV" "HARV" "HARV" "HARV". $ domainName: chr "Northeast" "Northeast" "Northeast" "Northeast". $ county : chr "Worcester" "Worcester" "Worcester" "Worcester". Locations at the NEON Harvard Forest Field Site ( HARV_PlotLocations.csv) and look at the structure of csv file that contains plot coordinate x, y We will continue using the sf and raster packages in this episode.

Of each point and the associated attribute data - or columns describing each The sf object allows us to store both the x,y values that represent the coordinate location The text file has an associated x and y location column, then we canĬonvert it into an sf spatial object. Spatial data are sometimes stored in a text file format (. Create a map showing vegetation height with plot locations layered on top.Shapefile can be imported into any GIS software. Export the data in a shapefile format to share with our colleagues.The HARV_PlotLocations.csv file contains x, y (point) locations for study We will also reproject data imported from a shapefile format, export this data as a shapefile, and plot raster and vector data as layers in the same plot. csv (Comma Separated Value) format into R as an sf spatial object. This episode will review how to import spatial points stored in. See the lesson homepage for detailed information about the software,ĭata, and other prerequisites you will need to work through the examples in this episode. Things You’ll Need To Complete This Episode csv files containing x,y coordinate locations into R as a data frame.Ĭonvert a data frame to a spatial object.
