__fgeo__ helps you to install, load, and access the documentation of multiple packages to analyze forest diversity and dynamics (`r purrr::map_chr(fgeo::fgeo_packages(include_self = FALSE), fgeo_link)`). This package-collection allows you to manipulate and plot [ForestGEO](http://www.forestgeo.si.edu/) data, and to do common analyses including abundance, demography, and species-habitats associations.

* [Ask questions, report bugs, or propose features](https://github.com/forestgeo/fgeo/issues/new)

## Installation

Make sure your R environment is as follows:

* R version is recent
* All packages are updated (run `update.packages()`; maybe use `ask = FALSE`)
* No other R session is running
* Current R session is clean (click _Session > Restart R_)

Install the latest stable version of __fgeo__ from [CRAN](https://cran.r-project.org/) with:

```R
install.packages("fgeo")
```

Or install the development version of __fgeo__ from [GitHub](https://github.com/) with:

```R
# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("forestgeo/fgeo.x")
```

## Example

```{r example}
library(fgeo)
```

### Explore __fgeo__

On an interactive session, `fgeo_help()` and `fgeo_browse_reference()` help you to search documentation.

```
if (interactive()) {
  # To search on the viewer; accepts keywords
  fgeo_help()
  # To search on a web browser
  fgeo_browse_reference() 
}
```

### Access and manipulate data

`example_path()` allows you to access datasets stored in your R libraries.

```{r}
example_path()

(vft_file <- example_path("view/vft_4quad.csv"))
```

#### `read_()`

`read_vft()` and `read_taxa()` import a ViewFullTable and ViewTaxonomy from .tsv or .csv files.

```{r}
read_vft(vft_file)
```

#### `pick_()` and `drop_()`

__fgeo__ is pipe-friendly. You may not use pipes but often they make code easier to read.

> Use %>% to emphasize a sequence of actions, rather than the object that the actions are being performed on.

-- 

`pick_dbh_under()`, `drop_status()` and friends pick and drop rows from a ForestGEO ViewFullTable or census table.

```{r}
(census <- fgeo.x::tree5)

census %>% 
  pick_dbh_under(100)
```

`pick_main_stem()` and `pick_main_stemid()` pick the main stem or main stemid(s) of each tree in each census.

```{r}
stem <- download_data("luquillo_stem6_random")

dim(stem)
dim(pick_main_stem(stem))
```

#### `add_()`

`add_status_tree()`adds the column `status_tree` based on the status of all stems of each tree.

```{r}
stem %>% 
  select(CensusID, treeID, stemID, status) %>% 
  add_status_tree()
```

`add_index()` and friends add columns to a ForestGEO-like dataframe.

```{r}
stem %>% 
  select(gx, gy) %>% 
  add_index()
```

### Plot data

For simplicity, we will focus on only a few species.

```{r}
stem_2sp <- stem %>% 
  filter(sp %in% c("PREMON", "CASARB"))
```

`autoplot()` and friends produce different output depending on the class of input. You can create different input classes, for example, with `sp()` and `sp_elev()`:

* Use `sp(census)` to plot the column `sp` of a `census` dataset -- i.e. to plot species distribution.

```{r autoplot-sp}
class(sp(stem_2sp))

autoplot(sp(stem_2sp))
```

* Use `sp_elev(census, elevation)` to plot the columns `sp` and `elev` of a `census` and `elevation` dataset, respectively -- i.e. to plot species distribution and topography.

```{r autoplot-sp-elev}
elevation <- fgeo.x::elevation
class(sp_elev(stem_2sp, elevation))

autoplot(sp_elev(stem_2sp, elevation))
```

### Analyze

#### Abundance

`abundance()` and `basal_area()` calculate abundance and basal area, optionally by groups.

```{r}
abundance(
  pick_main_stem(census)
)

by_species <- group_by(census, sp)

basal_area(by_species)
```

#### Demography

`recruitment_ctfs()`, `mortality_ctfs()`, and `growth_ctfs()` calculate recruitment, mortality, and growth. They all output a list. `as_tibble()` converts the output from a list to a more convenient dataframe.

```{r}
tree5 <- fgeo.x::tree5

as_tibble(
  mortality_ctfs(tree5, tree6)
)
```

#### Species-habitats association

`tt_test()` runs a torus translation test to determine habitat associations of tree species. `as_tibble()` converts the output from a list to a more convenient dataframe. `summary()` helps you to interpret the result.

```{r}
# This analysis makes sense only for tree tables
tree <- download_data("luquillo_tree5_random")

habitat <- fgeo.x::habitat
result <- tt_test(tree, habitat)

as_tibble(result)

summary(result)
```

## Downloads of fgeo packages

```{r fgeo-downloads, echo=FALSE, message=FALSE, warning=FALSE}
library(ggplot2)

fgeo::fgeo_packages() %>% 
  cranlogs::cran_downloads(from = "2019-05-09", to = lubridate::today()) %>% 
  ggplot(aes(date, count)) +
    geom_col() +
    labs(caption = "Data from ")
```
