Description: Downloads, imports, cleans, classifies, enriches and
exports biodiversity occurrence data, with an emphasis on
reproducible Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF)
workflows. The package supports
batch occurrence downloads, taxonomic standardisation,
coordinate cleaning, optional spatial thinning, spatial
attribution and structured export of processed occurrence
records and audit outputs. Terrestrial and freshwater workflows
can join records to administrative units, protected areas,
freshwater ecoregions, basins, rivers, lakes, reservoirs,
wetlands and other contextual spatial overlays. Marine
workflows support offshore and coastal records through joins to
Marine Regions style layers,
Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) units, marine ecoregions, Large
Marine Ecosystems and user-supplied marine overlays. The
package also supports native-range and invasive-status evidence
workflows using the World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS)
, evidence derived from
Standardising and Integrating Alien Species (SInAS)
, and Global Register of
Introduced and Invasive Species (GRIIS)
style species-country records. These tools are intended for
biodiversity, macroecological and invasion-biology analyses
where occurrence records need to be processed consistently,
transparently and reproducibly.
