VasGBIF: Fast and Easy Compilation of Vascular Plants Occurrence Records from 'GBIF'

'GBIF' <https://www.gbif.org/> hosts over 500 million occurrence records of tracheophyte (vascular plants). However, dealing with them typically involves lots of workflows and time, posing significant challenges for researchers. To address these limitations, we present 'VasGBIF', a fast and easy 'R' package to parse and merge enormous tracheophyte records.
