fqadata contains regional Floristic Quality Assessment databases that
have been approved or approved with reservations by the U.S. Army Corps
of Engineers. Paired with the
fqacalc package, these datasets
allow for Floristic Quality Assessment metrics to be calculated. Both
packages were developed for the USACE by the U.S. Army Engineer Research
and Development Center’s Environmental Laboratory.
