Add topography and land cover

Description

Initializes topography and land cover type for a set of target locations

Usage

add_topography(x, dem, progress = TRUE)

add_land_cover(
  x,
  land_cover_map,
  wildland = NULL,
  agriculture = NULL,
  rock = NULL,
  artificial = NULL,
  water = NULL,
  progress = TRUE
)

Arguments

x	An object of class sf
dem	A digital elevation model (class SpatRaster) with meters as units
progress	A logical flag to print console output
land_cover_map	An object of class SpatRaster of land cover type. If missing, all locations are considered 'wildland'.
wildland, agriculture, rock, artificial, water	Strings indicating the mapping from the legend of land_cover_map.

Details

The user should manually define the mapping of land cover classes in land_cover_map to the land cover types used in medfateland.

Value

Function add_topography() returns a modified object of class sf with columns:

• id: Numeric location identifiers (if not existing).

• elevation: Elevation above sea level (in m).

• slope: Slope (in degrees).

• aspect: Aspect (in degrees).

• land_cover_type: Land cover type.

Function add_land_cover() returns a modified object of class sf with new column:

• id: Numeric location identifiers (if not existing).

• land_cover_type: Land cover type.
