The LAGOSNE package provides an R interface to download LAGOS-NE data,
store this data locally, and perform a variety of filtering and
subsetting operations.
LAGOS-NE contains data for 51,101 lakes and reservoirs larger than 4 ha in 17 lake-rich US states. The database includes 3 data modules for: lake location and physical characteristics for all lakes; ecological context (i.e., the land use, geologic, climatic, and hydrologic setting of lakes) for all lakes; and in situ measurements of lake water quality for a subset of the lakes from the past 3 decades for approximately 2,600-12,000 lakes depending on the variable (see Soranno et al. 2017 below).
# install stable version from CRAN

# install development version from Github
# install devtools if not found - install.packages("devtools")
# devtools::install_github("cont-limno/LAGOSNE", dependencies = TRUE)The lagosne_get function downloads the LAGOSNE files corresponding to
the specified version from the EDI data
repository. Files are
stored in a temporary directory before being “compiled” to an R data
format in the location specified by the dest_folder argument.
Recommended setting is lagos_path(). Data only needs to be downloaded
one time per version per machine. Each LAGOSNE
module
has a unique version number. However, only the limno module has been
dynamically updated. Therefore the LAGOSNE R package uses the limno
module version number to check-out specific datasets. The latest
version of the LAGOSNE dataset is 1.087.3.

objects. Use the names() function to see a list of available data
frames names(dt).

lagosne_select is a convenience function whose primary purpose is to
provide users with the ability to select subsets of LAGOS tables that
correspond to specific keywords (see LAGOSNE:::keyword_partial_key()
and LAGOSNE:::keyword_full_key()). See
here for a comprehensive
tutorial on generic data.frame subsetting.
