ReLTER: An R interface for environmental observation in long term ecological research by Alessandro Oggioni, Micha Silver, Paolo Tagliolato, Arnon Karnieli

“…Furthermore, DEIMS-SDR is currently used as a site catalogue by European environmental research projects, and has the potential to develop as the a reference for the EU ecological site registry.The ReLTER package, written in the R language, is based on several auxiliary packages that enrich the data collected within the Long-Term Ecological Research (eLTER) network with data from other repositories. More than forty functions have been implemented that allow the retrieval of species occurrence data from third-party online networks, such as GBIF, iNaturalist, and OBIS, as well as earth observation images from various internet archives, and to harmonize the downloaded data (in terms of structure, semantics, taxonomy, etc.) for combining and linking them in subsequent analyses. …”
