Biodiversity Time Series Analyses from European Marine Ecosystems

This workflow evaluates temporal trends in taxonomic community metrics for European marine ecosystems. It has user-provided data as input, that is filtered in order to evaluate temporal trends in the taxonomic community metrics for each site. This workflow is part of Marco-Bolo project task 5.1.

Service Name: Biodiversity data from excel retriever

Service Description: This is a NaaVRE workflow component / building block written in R that retrieves, validates, and saves biodiversity data and metadata from an Excel file for further processing. If the input file is not found in either location, the script stops with an error. It reads two sheets from the Excel file: Metadata and Data. It defines required columns for both data and metadata and checks if all required columns are present in the dataframes. If columns are missing or extra columns are present, the script stops with an error message. Finally, it writes the metadata and data to separate CSV files (metadata.csv and data.csv) in the temporary directory.
