calc_spear | R Documentation |
Indicator based on biological traits used to detect effects of pesticides on non-target freshwater invertebrate organisms. It can be calculated at Taxonomic Levels 2, 4 and 5.
calc_spear(data, recoveryArea = "unknown", taxa_list = "TL2")
data |
Dataframe of results with four columns: SAMPLE_NUMBER, TAXON, SPEAR_SPECIES, RESULT |
recoveryArea |
There are 3 different paramaters depending on availability of "Recovery areas" information:
|
taxa_list |
The taxonomic level the sample(s) have been identified at according to specificed taxa lists as described in WFD100 Further Development of River Invertebrate Classification Tool. Either "TL2" - Taxa list 2, "TL4" - Taxa list 4 or "TL5" - Taxa list 5. |
