  path = get_default_data_path(),
  level = "Site",
  download_if_missing = TRUE,
  quiet = FALSE
)

Arguments

path

either the file path that contains the PortalData folder or "repo", which then pulls data from the PortalData GitHub repository

level

level at which to summarize data: 'Site', 'Plot', or 'Stake'

download_if_missing

if the specified file path doesn't have the PortalData folder, then download it

quiet

logical, whether to run without version messages

Value

data frame with year, species, (plot if applicable), and presence [1, 0]
