Function 2.2 oceanAbundGrid: compute spatial patterns of abundance of occurrences at multiple scales compute spatial patterns of abundance from larga occurrences datasets at multiple scales

Description

computes global grid of abundance of occurrences at multiple scales

Usage

oceanAbundGrid(occurrences, lat_name = "decimalLatitude",
  long_name = "decimalLongitude", extent = "global", cell_size = 5,
  min_long = -180, max_long = 180, min_lat = -90, max_lat = 90)

Arguments

occurrences	dataset of occurrences downloaded from OBIS or GBIF
extent	spatial extent of the analysis:"global", "Mediterranean"
cell_size	size of the grid cells in degrees (?)
min_long	minimum longitude of the analysis
max_long	maximum longitude of the analysis
max_lat	maximum latitude of the analysis
from	source data, it can be "OBIS" or"GBIF"
latitude_name	variable name indicating latitude in the occurrences dataset
longitude_name	variable name indicating longitude in the occurrences dataset
max_long	minimum latitute of the analysis

Details

The function creates downloads occurrences data from the specific sources and stores them in a data frame.

Value

The function returns a an object of class raster with abundance per cell
