data_beetle
A data frame (also a tibble) with the following columns:
location_id
: Location id.
siteID
: NEON site code.
plotID
: Plot identifier (NEON site code_XXX).
unique_sample_id
: Identity of unique samples, usually it has location and date information.
trapID
: Identifier for trap.
observation_datetime
: Observation date and time.
taxon_id
: Accepted species code, based on one or more sources.
taxon_name
: Scientific name, associated with the taxonID. This is the name
of the lowest level taxonomic rank that can be determined.
taxon_rank
: The lowest level taxonomic rank that can be determined for the individual or specimen.
variable_name
: The variable name(s) represented by the value
column.
value
: Value of the variable(s) specified by variable_name
.
unit
: Unit of the values in the value
column.
boutID
: Identifier for bout.
nativeStatusCode
: The process by which the taxon became established in the location.
'A': Presumed absent, due to lack of data indicating a taxon's presence in a given location;
'N': Native; 'I': Introduced; 'UNK': Status unknown.
release
: Version of data release by NEON.
remarks
: Remarks (techinical notes) of record.
samplingProtocolVersion
: The NEON document number and version where detailed information regarding the sampling method used is available; format 'NEON.DOC.######vX'.
trappingDays
: Decimal days between trap setting and collecting events.
latitude
: The geographic latitude (in decimal degrees, WGS84) of the geographic center of the reference area.
longitude
: The geographic longitude (in decimal degrees, WGS84) of the geographic center of the reference area.
elevation
: Elevation (in meters) above sea level.
nlcdClass
: National Land Cover Database Vegetation Type Name.
To process data we:
Remove all non-carabid bycatch samples.
Use the most expert taxonomy when available.
Update abundances based on new taxonomy.
Create a boutID that identifies all trap collection events at a site in the same bout (replacing eventID).
Update collectDate to reference the most common collection day in a bout, maintaining one collectDate per bout.
Create a new trappingDays
column for the number of days a trap was set before being collected.
Correct trap days to account for entries where the trap set date was not updated based on a previous collection.
Details of locations (e.g. latitude/longitude coordinates can be found in neon_location).
