__A view from the serpentine habitats at Sedgwick__

## Overview: 

This is an R data package with environmental characteristics of 24 study sites located across the [University of California Sedgwick Reserve](https://sedgwick.nrs.ucsb.edu/) in Santa Barbara County, California. Data were collected by Nathan Kraft, Gaurav Kandlikar, Andrew Kleinhesselink and the [Kraft Lab at UCLA](https://sites.lifesci.ucla.edu/eeb-kraft/).     

![Map of 24 Sites](man/figures/README-sedgwick_map.png)
__Sedgwick Map:__ A) Map of all 24 sites across the reserve--only the lower sites are labeled. Sites labeled 740 to 763. B) Inset showing locations of upper sites.
<!--sites mapped with the data-raw/map_sedgwick_ggmap.R script --> 

## Installation

You can install this package from [GitHub](https://github.com/) with:

``` r
# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("akleinhesselink/sedgwickenv")
```

## Usage

`library(sedgwickenv)` will load the following datasets:

* __sedgwick_env__: dataframe with average environmental conditions at all 24 sites 
* __sedgwick_ibutton__: daily Tmax, Tmin and Tavg spring temperatures at 24 sites 
* __sedgwick_soil_moisture__: spring soil moisture recorded at each of the 24 sites 
* __sedgwick_boundary__: SpatialPolygon file showing boundaries of Sedgwick for maps 
* __sedgwick_DEM__: raster showing elevation across Sedgwick at roughly 10 m resolution 
* __sedgwick_soil_depth__: soil depth recorded at each plot at each site 
* __sedgwick_veg_height__: vegetation height recorded at each plot at each site
