Calculate area of different landcover classes — landcover • mapme.biodiversity

The land cover data shows us how much of the region is covered by forests, rivers, wetlands, barren land, or urban infrastructure thus allowing the observation of land cover dynamics over a period of time. This function allows to efficiently calculate area of different landcover classes for polygons. For each polygon, the area of the classes in hectare(ha) is returned. The required resources for this indicator are:

esalandcover

Format

A tibble with a column for area (in ha) and the percentage covered per landcover class

Examples

# \dontshow{
mapme.biodiversity:::.copy_resource_dir(file.path(tempdir(), "mapme-data"))
# }
# \dontrun{
library(sf)
library(mapme.biodiversity)

outdir <- file.path(tempdir(), "mapme-data")
dir.create(outdir, showWarnings = FALSE)
