In biosurvey: Tools for Biological Survey Planning

Description

Creates a data.frame of species' references that contains longitude, latitude, and species name, using a list of raster layers as input. Useful when raster layers have distinct extent or resolution.

Usage

rlist_2data(raster_list, parallel = FALSE, n_cores = NULL)

Arguments

raster_list	list of RasterLayer objects. Each raster layer must be named as the species that it represents, and values in each layer must be 1 (presence) and 0 (absence).
parallel	(logical) whether to perform analyses in parallel. Default = FALSE.
n_cores	(numeric) number of cores to be used when parallel = TRUE. The default, NULL, uses available cores - 1.

Value

A data.frame of species geographic records derived from values of presence in each layer from the list of raster layers.

Examples

# Data
rsp <- raster::stack(system.file("extdata/sp_layers.tif",
                     package = "biosurvey"))
names(rsp) <- paste0("Species_", 1:5)

rlist <- lapply(1:5, function(x) {rsp[[x]]})

# Species data from RasterStack
sp_data <- rlist_2data(raster_list = rlist)
summary(sp_data)
