ReLTER provides access to DEIMS-SDR (https://deims.org/), and allows interaction with data and software implemented by eLTER Research Infrastructure (RI) thus improving data sharing among European LTER projects. ReLTER uses the R language to access and interact with the DEIMS-SDR archive of information shared by the Long Term Ecological Research (LTER) network. This package grew within eLTER H2020 as a major project that will help advance the development of European Long-Term Ecosystem Research Infrastructures (eLTER RI - https://elter-ri.eu). The ReLTER package functions in particular allow to: - retrieve the information about entities (e.g. sites, datasets, and activities) shared by DEIMS-SDR (see e.g. get_site_info function); - interact with the ODSEurope starting with the dataset shared by DEIMS-SDR (see e.g. get_site_ODS function); - use the eLTER site informations to download and crop geospatial data from other platforms (see e.g. get_site_ODS function); - improve the quality of the dataset (see e.g. get_id_worms). Functions currently implemented are derived from discussions of the needs among the eLTER users community. The ReLTER package will continue to follow the progress of eLTER-RI and evolve, adding new tools and improvements as required.

The tidytags package coordinates the simplicity of collecting tweets over time with a Twitter Archiving Google Sheet (TAGS; https://tags.hawksey.info/) and the utility of the rtweet package (https://docs.ropensci.org/rtweet/) for processing and preparing additional Twitter metadata. tidytags also introduces functions developed to facilitate systematic yet flexible analyses of data from Twitter.

A pipeline for the identification, within taxonomic groups, of orthologous sequence clusters from GenBank https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genbank/ as the first step in a phylogenetic analysis. The pipeline depends on a local alignment search tool and is, therefore, not dependent on differences in gene naming conventions and naming errors.

Provides automated downloading, parsing, cleaning, unit conversion and formatting of Global Surface Summary of the Day (GSOD) weather data from the from the USA National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI). Units are converted from from United States Customary System (USCS) units to International System of Units (SI). Stations may be individually checked for number of missing days defined by the user, where stations with too many missing observations are omitted. Only stations with valid reported latitude and longitude values are permitted in the final data. Additional useful elements, saturation vapour pressure (es), actual vapour pressure (ea) and relative humidity (RH) are calculated from the original data using the improved August-Roche-Magnus approximation (Alduchov & Eskridge 1996) and included in the final data set. The resulting metadata include station identification information, country, state, latitude, longitude, elevation, weather observations and associated flags. For information on the GSOD data from NCEI, please see the GSOD readme.txt file available from, https://www1.ncdc.noaa.gov/pub/data/gsod/readme.txt.

A client for the Environmental Data Initiative repository REST API. The EDI data repository https://portal.edirepository.org/nis/home.jsp is for publication and reuse of ecological data with emphasis on metadata accuracy and completeness. It is built upon the PASTA+ software stack https://pastaplus-core.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html# and was developed in collaboration with the US LTER Network https://lternet.edu/. EDIutils includes functions to search and access existing data, evaluate and upload new data, and assist other data management tasks common to repository users.

Allows automating the creation of time series of rasters derived from MODIS satellite land products data. It performs several typical preprocessing steps such as download, mosaicking, reprojecting and resizing data acquired on a specified time period. All processing parameters can be set using a user-friendly GUI. Users can select which layers of the original MODIS HDF files they want to process, which additional quality indicators should be extracted from aggregated MODIS quality assurance layers and, in the case of surface reflectance products, which spectral indexes should be computed from the original reflectance bands. For each output layer, outputs are saved as single-band raster files corresponding to each available acquisition date. Virtual files allowing access to the entire time series as a single file are also created. Command-line execution exploiting a previously saved processing options file is also possible, allowing users to automatically update time series related to a MODIS product whenever a new image is available.

Provides functions supporting the reading and parsing of internal e-book content from EPUB files. The epubr package provides functions supporting the reading and parsing of internal e-book content from EPUB files. E-book metadata and text content are parsed separately and joined together in a tidy, nested tibble data frame. E-book formatting is not completely standardized across all literature. It can be challenging to curate parsed e-book content across an arbitrary collection of e-books perfectly and in completely general form, to yield a singular, consistently formatted output. Many EPUB files do not even contain all the same pieces of information in their respective metadata. EPUB file parsing functionality in this package is intended for relatively general application to arbitrary EPUB e-books. However, poorly formatted e-books or e-books with highly uncommon formatting may not work with this package. There may even be cases where an EPUB file has DRM or some other property that makes it impossible to read with epubr. Text is read as is for the most part. The only nominal changes are minor substitutions, for example curly quotes changed to straight quotes. Substantive changes are expected to be performed subsequently by the user as part of their text analysis. Additional text cleaning can be performed at the users discretion, such as with functions from packages like tm or qdap'.

Provides API access to data from the US Energy Information Administration (EIA) https://www.eia.gov/. Use of the API requires a free API key obtainable at https://www.eia.gov/opendata/register.php. The package includes functions for searching EIA data categories and importing time series and geoset time series datasets. Datasets returned by these functions are provided in a tidy format or alternatively in more raw form. It also offers helper functions for working with EIA date strings and time formats and for inspecting different summaries of series metadata. The package also provides control over API key storage and caching of API request results.

An interface to the web service methods provided by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). The Agricultural Research Service (ARS) provides a large set of databases. The current version of the package holds interfaces to the Systematic Mycology and Microbiology Laboratory (SMML), which consists of four databases: Fungus-Host Distributions, Specimens, Literature and the Nomenclature database. It provides functions for querying these databases. The main function is \codeassociations, which allows searching for fungus-host combinations.
