The R package, perutimber, provides easy access to
taxonomic information for over 1,300 vascular plant species found in the
“Catalogue of the timber forest species of the Amazon and the
Peruvian Yunga”. This package is based on the authoritative
publication by Vásquez
Martínez and Rojas Gonzáles (2022) titled “Catálogo de las especies
forestales maderables de la Amazonía y la Yunga Peruana” in Revista
Forestal del Perú 37(3, Número Especial): 5-138. With
perutimber, researchers and enthusiasts alike can
efficiently explore and analyze the timber plant species.
You can install the development version of perutimber
like so:
pak::pak("PaulESantos/perutimber")library(perutimber)
sps_list <- c("Pentaplaris davidsmithii",
"Quararibea wittiia",
"Sterculia tessmanni",
"Sterculia tessmannia",
"Brosimum alicastrum subsp. bolivarense",
"Brosimum alicastrum sub bolivarense",
"Poa annua")perutimber::search_perutimber function can be used over
a vector of species names. You can pass a character vector containing
multiple species names as an argument to the function, and it will check
whether each of those species names is listed in the data. The function
will return a character vector indicating whether each species name is
present or not. Here’s an example:perutimber::search_perutimber(splist = sps_list)
#> [1] "Present" "P_updated_name" "P_updated_name" "P_updated_name"
#> [5] "Present" "P_updated_name" ""perutimber::search_perutimber can be used with a
data.frame or tibble. Here’s an example of how to use it: # base R
sps_df <- data.frame(sps_list)

#> 1 Pentaplaris davidsmithii
#> 2 Quararibea wittiia
#> 3 Sterculia tessmanni

information provided in the “Catalogue of the timber forest species of
the Amazon and the Peruvian Yunga”, to obtain information for a specific
species, a species name vector must be provided as input. The function
returns a data frame containing basic information for each species, such
as its common and scientific names.perutimber::get_perutimber_data(sps_list)
