Quantification of the range size of a species using habitat suitability maps and IUCN criteria)

Description

This function quantifies the range size of a species using standard IUCN criteria (Area of Occupancy AOO, Extent of Occurence EOO) or binary maps derived from Species Distribution Models.

Usage

ecospat.rangesize (bin.map, ocp, buffer, eoo.around.model, eoo.around.modelocp, 
xy, EOO, Model.within.eoo, AOO, resol, AOO.circles, d, lonlat, return.obj, 
save.obj, save.rangesize, directory)

ecospat.rangesize (bin.map = NULL,
                   ocp = TRUE,
                   buffer = 0,
                   eoo.around.model = TRUE,
                   eoo.around.modelocp = FALSE,
                   xy = NULL,
                   EOO = TRUE,
                   Model.within.eoo = TRUE,
                   AOO = TRUE,
                   resol = c(2000, 2000),
                   AOO.circles = FALSE,
                   d = sqrt((2000 * 2)/pi),
                   lonlat = FALSE,
                   return.obj = TRUE,
                   save.obj = FALSE,
                   save.rangesize = FALSE,
                   directory = getwd())



Arguments

bin.map

Binary map (a SpatRaster) from a Species Distribution Model.

ocp

logical. Calculate occupied patch models from the binary map (predicted area occupied by the species)

buffer

numeric. Calculate occupied patch models from the binary map using a buffer (predicted area occupied by the species or within a buffer around the species, for details see ?extract).

eoo.around.model

logical. The EOO around all positive predicted values from the binary map.

eoo.around.modelocp

logical. EOO around all positive predicted values of occupied patches.

xy

xy-coordinates of the species presence

EOO

logical. Extent of Occurrence. Convex Polygon around occurrences.

Model.within.eoo

logical. Area predicted as suitable by the model within EOO.

AOO

logical. Area of Occupancy ddervied by the occurrences.

resol

Resolution of the grid frame at which AOO should be calculated.

AOO.circles

logical. AOO calculated by circles around the occurrences instead of using a grid frame.

d

Radius of the AOO.circles around the occurrences.

lonlat

Are these longitude/latidue coordinates? (Default = FALSE).

return.obj

logical. should the objects created to estimate range size be returned (SpatRaster and spatial polygons). Default: TRUE

save.obj

logical. should objects be saved on hard drive?

save.rangesize

logical. should range size estimations be saved on hard drive .

directory

directory in which objects should be saved (Default = getwd())

Details

The range size of a species is important for many conservation purposes, e.g. to assess the status of threat for IUCN Red Lists. This function quantifies the range size using different IUCN measures, i.e. the Area Of Occupancy (AOO), the Extent Of Occurrence (EOO) and from binary maps derived from Species Distribution Models (SDMs). Different ways to extract range size from SDMs are available, e.g. using occupied patches, the suitable habitat within EOO or a convex hull around the suitable habitat.

Value

A list with the values of range size quantification and the stored objects used for quantification (of class SpatRaster, ahull, ConvexHull).
