[!IMPORTANT]
This respository is now ARCHIVED. Resource and indicator functions have been transferred to mapme.biodiversity.
Introduction
This package is currently work-in-progress. It is going to be used to develop new resources/indicators while mapme.biodiversity is undergoing a number of functionality changes. To learn more about the ongoing changes and their current status, please visit the announcement issue.
The branch you are seeing here links against mapme.biodiversity v0.8.0.
We will update the resource/indicator functions developed here once a new version is released.
After reaching all milestones in mapme.biodiversity, we will decide whether to move the resources/indicators developed here into the main package or if the resources/indicators will be moved here.
Installation
Please run the following code to install the required packages:
remotes::install_version("mapme.biodiversity", version = "0.8.0")
remotes::install_github("mapme-initiative/mapme.indicators")Resources and Indicators
The package adds new resources and indicators. It is ready-to-use in a workflow based on mapme.biodiversity.
Once the package is loaded in your R session via library(mapme.indicators), the new resources and associated indicators are registered and available for your workflows.
The table below gives an overview of implemented and planned resources/indicators:
| Name | Description | Data Source |
|---|---|---|
| Manageable carbon | carbon stock that is primarily affected by human activities that either maintain, increase, or decrease its size | Zenodo |
| Vulnerable carbon | amount of manageable carbon that is likely to be released through typical land conversion in an ecosystem | Zenodo |
| Irrecoverable carbon | amount of the vulnerable carbon which if it is lost through typical land conversion actions cannot be recovered by 2050 | Zenodo |
| Human footprint | pressure on ecosystems by 8 variables of human impact | Figshare |
| IPBES Biomes | Terrestrial and aquatic classification of biomes according to IPBES | Zenodo |
| Species Richness (IUCN) | Number of distinct species possibly by threat level | IUCN Redlist |
| Biodiversity Intactness Index | Modeled average abundance of originally-present species, relative to their abundance in an intact ecosystem | NHM Data Portal |
| Key Biodiversity Areas | Sites with specific importance for nature conservation effort | KBA |
