load tables from git repository forresdat — read

This function reads a table in git2rdata format from git repository forresdat (or another git repository dependent on the given repo path).

read_forresdat(tablename, repo_path, join_plotinfo = TRUE)

Arguments

tablename: name of the table that should be read
repo_path: name and path of local git repository from which data should be retrieved
join_plotinfo: should table plotinfo be joined to the chosen table to add columns plottype and forest_reserve? Default is TRUE. (This is only possible if the given table contains a column plot_id, so this parameter should be put FALSE if this column is absent.)

A dataframe with the specified table, default columns plottype and forest_reserve.

if (FALSE) {
#change path before running
library(forrescalc)
read_forresdat(tablename = "dendro_by_plot", repo_path = "C:/gitrepo/forresdat")
}
