wcvpmatch: Taxonomic Name Reconciliation Against the 'WCVP' Backbone
Standardizes and reconciles scientific plant names against
a World Checklist of Vascular Plants ('WCVP')-style taxonomic
backbone. The package parses names into taxonomic components and
applies staged exact and fuzzy matching for binomial and trinomial
inputs, including infraspecific rank-aware checks. It also returns
accepted-name context and row-level matching flags to support
reproducible, auditable preprocessing for downstream biodiversity,
spatial, and trait analyses. A user-supplied backbone can be passed
through 'target_df'; when the optional companion package 'wcvpdata'
is installed, its default checklist can also be used.
