PUCA-package: Provenancing Using Climate Analogues

In peteraharrison/PUCA: Provenancing Using Climate Analogues

Description

An R package to identify provenances occupying projected analogous climates using contemporary and future climate projections.

Details

Global climates are changing, and recent ecological restoration literature is pushing for a paradigm shift from traditional local provenancing to new restoration/reforestation provenancing strategies. The code implemented in this package employs the theory behind the climate-adjusted provenancing strategy of Prober et al. 2015 by identifying areas of a species distribution which currently occupy analogous climates projected for the future.

The core function to implement the climate-adjusted provenancing strategy is seedSource, which can also be implemented via the graphical user interface (GUI) by calling seedSourcing_GUI. These functions rely on the climate and distribution data being named correctly prior to been read into R, and it is highly recommended the user first read the example vignette.
