Calculate terrestrial ecoregions statistics (TEOW) based on WWF

This function allows to efficiently retrieve the name of the ecoregions and compute the corresponding area from Terrestrial Ecoregions of the World (TEOW) - World Wildlife Fund (WWF) for polygons. For each polygon, the name and area of the ecoregions (in hectare) is returned. The required resources for this indicator are:

• teow

Format

A tibble with a column for name of the ecoregions and corresponding area (in ha).

Examples

library(sf)
library(mapme.biodiversity)

temp_loc <- file.path(tempdir(), "mapme.biodiversity")
if (!file.exists(temp_loc)) {
  dir.create(temp_loc)
  resource_dir <- system.file("res", package = "mapme.biodiversity")
  file.copy(resource_dir, temp_loc, recursive = TRUE)
}

(try(aoi <- system.file("extdata", "sierra_de_neiba_478140_2.gpkg",
  package = "mapme.biodiversity"
