Description Usage Arguments Value References Examples
The ERSex process provides an ecological measurement of the proportion of a species range that can be considered to be conserved in ex situ repositories. The ERSex calculates the proportion of terrestrial ecoregions (The Nature Conservancy Geospatial Conservation Atlas 2019) represented within the G buffered areas out of the total number of ecoregions occupied by the distribution model.

Species_list |
A vector of characters with the species names to calculate the GRSex metrics. |
Occurrence_data |
A data frame object with the species name, geographical coordinates, and type of records (G or H) for a given species |
Raster_list |
A list of rasters representing the species distribution models for the species list provided in Species_list. The order of rasters in this list must match the same order as Species_list. |
Buffer_distance |
Geographical distance used to create circular buffers around germplasm. Default: 50000 (50 km) around germplasm accessions (CA50) |
Ecoregions_shp |
A shapefile representing Ecoregions information with a field ECO_ID_U representing Ecoregions Ids. If Ecoregions=NULL the function will use a shapefile provided for use after running GetDatasets() |
Gap_Map |
logical, if |
This function returns a dataframe as main result with two columns:
species | Species name |
ERSex | ERSex value calculated |
