RADIS - Retrieve Agronomic Data in a Sector

The RADIS package aims to facilitate the extraction of environmental data from various cartographic or spatial sources or APIs. It allows for the retrieval of this information using specific spatial shape. This package also formats the extracted data in a way that makes it easily exploitable for further analysis.

Installation

You can install the stable version of RADIS like so:

install.packages(
  'RADIS',
  repos = c('https://inrae.r-universe.dev', 'https://cloud.r-project.org')
)

The development version can be installed from INRAE’s Forge using the remotes package:

#install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_git(
  'https://forge.inrae.fr/umr-g-eau/radis.git',
  dependencies = TRUE
)

Documentation of the development version is available at: https://umr-g-eau.pages-forge.inrae.fr/radis/dev/.

Features

RADIS links environmental datasets to polygons in France:

• Crops: get_rpg_data.
• Weather and climate:
  • Daily simulated weather from SIM2: get_sim2_daily.
  • DRIAS historical daily data: get_drias_daily.
  • DRIAS climate scenarios: get_drias_scenario.
  • FYRE climate aggregates: get_fyre_climate.
• Soil:
  • Soil depth: get_soil_depth.
  • Available Water Capacity: get_soil_awc.
  • Soil texture: get_soil_texture.
• Dataverse catalogs and spatial datasets:
  • Generic dataverse retrieval: get_data_from_dataverse.
  • BDGSF soil/geology datasets: get_bdgsf_from_dataverse.
• Spatial utilities and visualization:
  • Combine multiple spatial layers: spatial_combination.
  • Quick interactive map preview: view_data_map.

Depending on the data source, RADIS queries either the original database, or RADIS.api, which has access to a server where certain data is stored in a format better suited to queries than in their original database. The figure below describes the relationships between RADIS, RADIS.API, and different public databases:
