Extract the names of the Whittaker biome regions from the plot

Request:

Is there an easy / swish way to extract the names of the Whittaker biome regions from the plot and align them with the data I’m plotting? I just want the names of each biome associated with each site so I can use them for plotting the discreet biome variables later.

This sounds like it can be solved by a spatial intersection between the points and the polygones. At a fast look, it seems that I implemented this operation within the body of the get_outliers.R script - https://github.com/valentinitnelav/plotbiomes/blob/develop/R/get_outliers.R

If I get the time, i'll make a separate function to output the names of the biomes as well for each data point.
