Numeric vector of years to be harmonised

years

Characer vector of variables that cannot be harmonized between the years. These pertain to the variables which have been collected at the earlier stages (before 2018) of survey as ordered categorical variables, and at later stages (at and later than (?) 2018) - as discrete numbers. Such attributes are lc1/2_perc, lu1/2_perc and soil_stones_perc.

nonHarmonizeableVars

Updates values in all tables to fit the last survey (2018) in terms of the coding of different variables; update is based on pre-made mappings

Reproduces the harmonized DB of the ESTAT survey of the same name. The survey data is served as separate spreadsheets with noticeable differences in the collected attributes. The tool here presented carries out a series of instructions that harmonize the attributes in terms of name, meaning, and occurrence, while also introducing a series of new variables, instrumental to adding value to the product. Outputs include one harmonized table with all the years, and three separate geometries, corresponding to the theoretical point, the gps location where the measurement was made and the 250m east-facing transect.
