How do I save a spatial polygon in R?
We can save our SpatialPolygons object as a shapefile using the raster package. The shapefile function in the raster package is very convenient in that it can both read a shapefile into R but it can also write a SpatialPolygons or other spatial object classes (lines, polygons, etc.) to a shapefile.
How do I write to a shapefile in R?
We can write an R spatial object to a shapefile using the st_write function in sf . To do this we need the following arguments: the name of the spatial object ( plot_locations_sp_HARV ) the directory where we want to save our shapefile (to use current = getwd() or you can specify a different path)
