LCRapid

An R package to generate a rapid Least Concern Red List assessment for plant species

Overview

Quickly determine if a plant species is likely to be non-threatened (Least Concern - See IUCN Red List). Generate minimal documentation for a Least Concern species and submit to the IUCN Red List via SIS Connect (registration needed)

Installation

Not yet on CRAN, but you can install the development version from GitHub with:

# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("stevenpbachman/LCRapid")

Usage

The workflow is broken into several steps and each step can be run independently:

1. name_search check name status against taxonomic backbones
2. get_points gather occurrence records
3. filter_native clean points with native range
4. calculate_metrics calculate metrics
5. apply_thresholds assess whether species is Least Concern
6. make_files generate data files or reports

The batch option allows you to run multiple species.

Getting started

library(LCRapid)
## check a name against GBIF, Kew Names Matching Service and Plants of the World Online
name_search("Poa annua L.")

#get_points()
#etc...
