We've created a data package to help you easily bring BioDIGS soil data and metadata into R! This package is currently in development, so if there's a feature you'd like to see, please let us know!
Install the package by running the following in R. You might need to install the devtools package.
devtools::install_github("fhdsl/BioDIGSData")
Bring in the data using predefined functions. For example:
# Load soil data
my_data <- BioDIGSData::BioDIGS_soil_data()
