prioritizrdata: Conservation Planning Datasets

Description

The prioritizrdata package is a supplemental package that contains example datasets for conservation planning. It is intended to be used alongside the prioritizr package.

Details

This package contains the following datasets:

tas_data

Conservation planning dataset for Tasmania, Australia.

salt_data

Conservation planning dataset for Salt Spring Island, Canada.

wa_data

Conservation planning dataset for Washington, The United States of America.


Salt Spring Island data

Description

Conservation planning dataset for Salt Spring Island, Canada. It was obtained as part of an online Marxan-based planning tool created for the Coastal Douglas-fir Conservation Partnership (CDFCP; Schuster et al. 2017).

Usage

get_salt_pu()

get_salt_features()

get_salt_con()

Format

salt_pu

terra::rast() object.

salt_features

terra::rast() object.

salt_con

terra::rast() object.

Details

The following functions are provided to import data:

get_salt_pu()

Import planning unit data. The planning units are a single layer terra::rast() object. Cell values denote the monetary cost of acquiring different areas (e.g., a value of 1 = $100,000 CAD; BC Land Assessment 2015).

get_salt_features()

Import biodiversity feature data. The feature data are a multi-layer terra::rast() object object. It contains the spatial distribution of four key ecological communities. Each layer represents a different community type. These classes are (i) old forest, (ii) savanna, (iii) wetland, and (iv) shrub. For each layer, values indicate the composite probability of encountering the suite of bird species most commonly associated with that community type.

get_salt_con()

Import connectivity data. The connectivity data are a single-layer terra::rast() object. It contains the inverse probability of occurrence of human commensal species. Based on the assumption that human modified areas impede connectivity for native fauna, cells with higher values have higher connectivity.

Tasmania data

Description

Conservation planning dataset for Tasmania, Australia.

Usage

get_tas_pu()

get_tas_features()

Format

tas_pu

sf::st_sf() object.

tas_features

terra::rast() object

Details

The following functions are provided to import data:

get_tas_pu

Import planning unit data. The planing units are a sf::st_sf() simple features object. Each row corresponds to a different planning unit, and columns contain information about the planning units. It has columns that contain: ("id") unique identifiers and ("cost") unimproved land values for the planning units. It also contains columns ("locked_in" and "locked_out") with logical values (i.e. TRUE or FALSE values) for locking in and locking out planning units. These data obtained from the "Introduction to Marxan" course and were originally generated as part of a larger spatial prioritization Resources (Klein et al. 2007).

get_tas_features

Import biodiversity feature data. The feature data are a multi-layer terra::rast() object. classes. Each layer corresponds to a different vegetation class and contains binary cell values that indicate the presence or absence of the vegetation class. These data were obtained from the Australian Government's National Vegetation Information System (Australian Government Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water 2020).

Washington data

Description

Conservation planning dataset for Washington, The United States of America.

Usage

get_wa_pu()

get_wa_locked_in()

get_wa_locked_out()

get_wa_features()

Format

get_wa_pu

terra::rast() object.

get_wa_locked_in

terra::rast() object.

get_wa_locked_out

terra::rast() object.

get_wa_features

terra::rast() object.

Details

The following functions are provided to import data:

get_wa_pu()

Import planning unit data. The planning units are a single layer terra::rast() object. Cell values denote land acquisition costs. These data were originally obtained from Nolte (2020 a,b).

get_wa_locked_in()

Import locked in data. The locked in data are a single layer terra::rast() object. Cell values denote binary values indicating if each cell is predominantly covered by protected areas (excluding those with no mandate for biodiversity protection). These data were originally obtained from USGS (2022)

get_wa_locked_in()

Import locked out data. The locked out are a single layer terra::rast() object. Cell values denote binary values indicating if each cell is predominantly covered by urban areas. These data were originally obtained from the Commission for Environmental Cooperation (2020)

get_wa_features()

Import biodiversity feature data. The feature data are a multi-layer terra::rast() object object. It contains the spatial distribution of 258 bird species. To account for migratory patterns, data are provided for the breeding and non-breeding distributions of species (indicated by "breeding" and "non-breedig" in the layer names). If a species is lacking such information, then the species is denoted with its full distribution (as indicated "full" in the layer names). These data were originally obtained from the eBird Status and Trends dataset (Fink et al. 2020).
