Extract GRDC Agroecological Zones Using Australian GPS Coordinates

extract_ae_zone(x)

Arguments

x: List. An object with names containing vector pairings of longitude and latitude values expressed as decimal degree values in that order, each individual vectors' items should be named "x" (longitude) and "y" (latitude), respectively. The list item names should be descriptive of the individual vectors and will be included in a "location" column of the output.

Value

A data.table::data.table with the provided GPS

coordinates and the respective GRDC agroecological zone.

Examples


locs <- list(
  "Merredin" = c(x = 118.28, y = -31.48),
  "Corrigin" = c(x = 117.87, y = -32.33),
  "Tamworth" = c(x = 150.84, y = -31.07)
  )
