In iiasa/rN2000: Package for downloading, querying and processing of Natura 2000 data

Description

Uses the rnaturalearth package to retrieve global administrative boundaries, which are reprojected, and then clipped to a bounding box around Europe.

Usage

get_EuropeanCountries(
  scale = 110,
  bbox = europe_100km,
  crs = sf::st_crs(europe_100km),
  ...
)

Arguments

scale	(optional) The numeric scale to pass to rnaturalearth::ne_countries(). Acceptable values are 10 (highres), 50 (midres), 110 (lowres). Defaults to 110.
bbox	(optional) A sf object from which a bounding box can be retrieved to clip the countries boundaries. Defaults to the bounding box of the europe_100km grid included in the rN2000 package.
crs	(optional) A crs, sf, or numeric object giving a CRS to reproject the data to. If crs is numeric, this should be an EPSG code. Defaults to ETRS89-extended / LAEA Europe.
