How to import CSV data into a shapefile in R?
This tutorial will review how to import spatial points stored in .csv (Comma Separated Value) format into R as a spatial object – a SpatialPointsDataFrame. We will also reproject data imported in a shapefile format, export a shapefile from an R spatial object, and plot raster and vector data as layers in the same plot.
How to convert ESRI shapefile to LatLong format?
Notice to LatLong format – In case your data are POINT type, then XY coordinates will be exported as well. Our online converter of ESRI Shapefile format to Comma Separated Values format (SHP to LatLong) is fast and easy to use tool for both individual and batch conversions.
How to convert a CSV file to a your object?

Where can I find Harv plotlocations.csv file?
The HARV_PlotLocations.csv file contains x, y (point) locations for study plots where NEON collects data on vegetation and other ecological metrics . We would like to: Create a map of these plot locations.
How to add a CRS to a shapefile?
Optional: the other columns stored in the data frame that you wish to append as attributes to your spatial object. We can add the CRS in two ways; borrow the CRS from another raster that already has it assigned (Option 1) or to add it directly using the proj4string (Option 2).
