This function takes a streamvast object defines a temporal sampling frame and formats everything for use with vast

Usage

SetTemporalFrame(
  streamvast,
  startdate = NA,
  enddate = NA,
  Time = "Year",
  season,
  padyear = F,
  padhabitat = F
)

streamvast: a streamvast object, minimally with countdata, reachdata defined
startdate: dates to truncate or expand the data in yyyy-mm-dd format
