addLegend

Description

Adds a legend to an existing plot, with some additional manual controls.

Usage

addLegend(
  r,
  params = NULL,
  direction,
  side,
  location = "right",
  nTicks = 3,
  adj = NULL,
  shortFrac = 0.02,
  longFrac = 0.3,
  axisOffset = 0,
  border = TRUE,
  ramp,
  isInteger = "auto",
  ncolors = 64,
  breaks = NULL,
  minmax = NULL,
  locs = NULL,
  label = "",
  cex.axis = 0.8,
  tcl = NA,
  labelDist = 0.7,
  minDigits = 2
)

Arguments

r

the epmGrid, rasterLayer, SpatRaster or sf object that has been plotted

params

If an epmGrid plot was saved to a variable, provide that here. Contents will override other arguments.

direction

direction of color ramp. If omitted, then direction is automatically inferred, otherwise can be specified as horizontal or vertical.

side

side for tick marks, see axis documentation. Automatically inferred if omitted.

location

either a location name (see Details), or coordinates for the corners of the bar legend c(xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax).

nTicks

number of tick marks, besides min and max.

adj

if location is top, left, bottom or right, use this argument to adjust the location of the legend, defined in percent of the figure width. See Details for additional information.

shortFrac

Percent of the plot width range that will be used as the short dimension of the legend. Only applies to preset location options.

longFrac

Percent of the plot width range that will be used as the long dimension of the legend. Only applies to preset location options.

axisOffset

distance from color bar for labels, as a percent of the plot width.

border

logical, should the color legend have a black border

ramp

either a vector of color names that will be interpolated, or a color ramp function that takes an integer (see for example colorRampPalette). If omitted, defaults to default epm color palette.

isInteger

If auto, automatically determines if r is made up of integer values, otherwise TRUE or FALSE

ncolors

grain size of color ramp

breaks

If a custom set of color breaks were used in plotting r, pass those color breaks here. This overrides the minmax option.

minmax

min and max values from which the color ramp will be derived. If left as NULL, the min and max of r will be used.

locs

locations of tick marks, if NULL automatically placed. If this is supplied as a character vector, then the labels will be plotted verbatim.

label

text to plot alongside the legend

cex.axis

size of axis labels

tcl

length of tick marks (see help for tcl in ?par)

labelDist

distance from axis to axis labels (passed to mgp)

minDigits

minimum number of significant digits for labels

Details

A number of predefined locations exist in this function to make it easy to add a legend to a plot.

Preset locations are: topleft, topright, bottomleft, bottomright, left, right, top and bottom.
If more fine-tuned control is desired, then a numeric vector of length 4 can be supplied to location, specifying the min x, max x, min y and max y values for the legend.

Additionally, the adj argument can be used to more intuitively adjust where the legend is placed. adj is defined as a percentage of the figure width or height, left to right, or bottom to top, respectively. For example, if the legend is at the bottom, adj = 0.8 will place the legend 80% of the distance from the top of the figure, horizontally centered.

If an epmGrid object was plotted with plot.epmGrid, and if use_tmap = FALSE was specified, and if that plot was assigned to a variable, then you can supply that variable here to the params argument, and a number of options will be automatically handed over to this function.

See examples.

Value

Invisibly returns a list with the following components.

  • coords: 2-column matrix of xy coordinates for each color bin in the legend.

  • width: Coordinates for the short dimension of the legend.

  • pal: the color ramp

  • tickLocs: the tick mark locations in plotting units

addPhylo

Description

Add a phylogeny to epmGrid object.

Usage

addPhylo(x, tree, replace = FALSE, verbose = FALSE)

Arguments

x

object of class epmGrid

tree

a phylogeny of class phylo, or a set of trees of class multiPhylo

replace

boolean; if a tree is already a part of x, should it be replaced?

verbose

if TRUE, list out all species that are dropped/excluded, rather than counts.

Details

If any species in the phylogeny are not found in the epmGrid geographical data, then those species will be dropped from the phylogeny, and a warning will be issued.

If providing a set of trees as a multiPhylo object, it is expected that all trees have the same tips.

Map change in morphological disparity

Description

Change in morphological disparity is calculating across a moving window of neighboring grid cells. To implement a custom function, see customBetaDiv.

Usage

betadiv_disparity(x, radius, slow = FALSE, nThreads = 1)

Arguments

x

object of class epmGrid.

radius

Radius of the moving window in map units.

slow

if TRUE, use an alternate implementation that has a smaller memory footprint but that is likely to be much slower. Most useful for high spatial resolution.

nThreads

number of threads for parallelization

Details

For each gridcell neighborhood (defined by the radius), we calculate the proportion of the full disparity contained in those grid cells, and then take the standard deviation of those proportions across the gridcell neighborhood. This way, the returned values reflect how much disparity (relative to the overall total disparity) changes across a moving window.

If the R package spdep is installed, this function should run more quickly.

Value

Returns a sf polygons object (if hex grid) or a SpatRaster object (if square grid).

Map phylogenetic turnover in species communities

Description

Multisite phylogenetic community dissimilarity is calculated for each cell within a circular moving window of neighboring cells. To implement a custom function, see customBetaDiv.

Usage

betadiv_phylogenetic(
  x,
  radius,
  component = "full",
  focalCoord = NULL,
  slow = FALSE,
  nThreads = 1
)

Arguments

x

object of class epmGrid.

radius

Radius of the moving window in map units.

component

which component of beta diversity to use, can be "turnover", "nestedness" or "full"

focalCoord

vector of x and y coordinate, see details

slow

if TRUE, use an alternate implementation that has a smaller memory footprint but that is likely to be much slower. Most useful for high spatial resolution.

nThreads

number of threads for parallelization

Details

For each cell, multisite dissimilarity is calculated for the focal cell and its neighbors. If focalCoord is specified, then instead of multisite dissimilarity within a moving window of gridcells, pairwise dissimilarity is calculated from the cell at the focal coordinates, to all other cells.

All metrics are based on Sorensen dissimilarity and range from 0 to 1: For each metric, the following components can be specified. These components are additive, such that the full metric = turnover + nestedness.

  • turnover: species turnover without the influence of richness differences

  • nestedness: species turnover due to differences in richness

  • full: the combined turnover due to both differences in richness and pure turnover

If the R package spdep is installed, this function should run more quickly.

Value

Returns a sf polygons object (if hex grid) or a SpatRaster object (if square grid) with multisite community dissimilarity for each grid cell.

  x,
  radius,
  component = "full",
  focalCoord = NULL,
  slow = FALSE,
  nThreads = 1
)

Arguments

x

object of class epmGrid.

radius

Radius of the moving window in map units.

component

which component of beta diversity to use, can be "turnover", "nestedness" or "full"

focalCoord

slow

if TRUE, use an alternate implementation that has a smaller memory footprint but that is likely to be much slower. Most useful for high spatial resolution.

nThreads

number of threads for parallelization

Details

For each cell, multisite dissimilarity is calculated from the focal cell and its neighbors. If focalCoord is specified, then instead of multisite dissimilarity within a moving window of gridcells, pairwise dissimilarity is calculated from the cell at the focal coordinates, to all other cells.

All metrics are based on Sorensen dissimilarity and range from 0 to 1.
For each metric, the following components can be specified. These components are additive, such that the full metric = turnover + nestedness.

  • turnover: species turnover without the influence of richness differences

  • nestedness: species turnover due to differences in richness richness and pure turnover

If the R package spdep is installed, this function should run more quickly.

Value

Returns a grid with multi-site community dissimilarity for each cell.

Description

Return the centroid coordinates for a specified set of grid cells.

Usage

coordsFromEpmGrid(x, sites)

Arguments

x

object of class epmGrid

sites

locations of sites, see details.

Details

Sites can be cell indices as a numeric vector, or you can specify sites = 'all' to get all grid cells. If the epmGrid object is hexagon-based, then all grid cells that are occupied are returned. If the epmGrid is square-based, then all grid cells, occupied or empty, are returned.

Create epmGrid object

Description

Creates an epmGrid object from a range of species-specific inputs.

Usage

createEPMgrid(
  spDat,
  resolution = 50000,
  method = "centroid",
  cellType = "hexagon",
  percentThreshold = 0.25,
  retainSmallRanges = TRUE,
  extent = "auto",
  percentWithin = 0,
  dropEmptyCells = TRUE,
  checkValidity = FALSE,
  crs = NULL,
  nThreads = 1,
  template = NULL,
  verbose = FALSE,
  use.data.table = "auto"
)

Arguments

spDat

a number of possible input formats are possible. See details below.

resolution

vertical and horizontal spacing of grid cells, in units of the polygons' or points' projection.

method

approach used for gridding. Either centroid or percentOverlap. See details below.

cellType

either hexagon or square. See details below.

percentThreshold

the percent that a species range must cover a grid cell to be considered present. Specified as a proportion.

retainSmallRanges

boolean; should small ranged species be dropped or preserved. See details.

extent

if 'auto', then the maximal extent of the polygons will be used. If not 'auto', can be a SpatialPolygon, sf object, or raster, in which case the resulting epmGrid will be cropped and masked with respect to the polygon; or a spatial coordinates object, from which an extent object will be generated; or a numeric vector of length 4 with minLong, maxLong, minLat, maxLat. If 'global', a global extent will be specified. See interactiveExtent to draw your own extent.

percentWithin

The percentage of a species range that must be within the defined extent in order for that species to be included. This filter can be used to exclude species whose range barely enters the area of interest. The default value of 0 will disable this filter. If extent == 'auto', then this filter will also have no effect, as the extent is defined by the species' ranges.

dropEmptyCells

only relevant for hexagonal grids, should empty cells be excluded from the resulting grid. Default is TRUE. Reasons to set this to FALSE may be if you want to retain a grid of a certain extent, regardless of which cells contain species.

checkValidity

if TRUE, then check polygon validity and repair if needed, using sf::st_make_valid.

crs

if supplying occurrence records in a non-spatial format, then you must specify the crs. For unprojected long/lat data, you can simply provide crs = 4326.

nThreads

if > 1, then employ parallel computing. This won't necessarily improve runtime.

template

a grid (SpatRaster, RasterLayer or sf) that will be directly used as the reference grid, bypassing any inference from the input data.

verbose

if TRUE, list out all species that are dropped/excluded, rather than counts.

use.data.table

if 'auto', this is determined by the size of the dataset. Primarily intended for debugging.

Details

Types of accepted inputs for argument spDat:

  1. a list of polygon objects (sf or sp), named with taxon names.

  2. a list of SpatRaster or RasterLayer grids, named with taxon names.

  3. a multi-layer RasterStack or multi-layer SpatRaster.

  4. a set of occurrence records, multiple accepted formats, see below.

  5. a site-by-taxon presence/absence matrix.

If input data consist of occurrence records rather than polygons, then a couple of formats are possible:

  1. You can provide a list of species-specific spatial point objects.

  2. You can provide a single spatial object, where points have a taxon attribute.

  3. You can provide a list of non-spatial species-specific dataframes.

  4. You can provide a single non-spatial dataframe.

For options (1) and (3), the taxon names must be provided as the list names. For options (2) and (4), the columns must be 'taxon', 'x' and 'y' (or 'long', 'lat'). For options (3) and (4), as these are non-spatial, you must provide a crs object to the crs argument, so that the function knows what projection to use.

It is also possible to supply a matrix with sites as rows and taxa as columns. The contents of this matrix must be either 0 or 1. If this is the case, then a raster grid must be supplied under the template argument. This will be the grid system used for converting this presence/absence matrix to an epmGrid object. It is expected that the index order of the grid is the same as the row order of the matrix.

If input is a set of species-specific grids, then it is expected that all grids belong to the same overall grid system, i.e. that the cells align and that all grids have the same resolution. Grids do not need to have the same extent.

Any SpatialPolygon or SpatialPoints objects are converted to objects of class sf.

If cellType = 'hexagon', then the grid is made of polygons via the sf package. If cellType = 'square', then the grid is a raster generated via the terra package. Hexagonal cells have several advantages, including being able to be of different sizes (if the grid is in unprojected long/lat), and may be able to more naturally follow coastlines and non-linear features. However, the raster-based square cells will be much less memory intensive for high resolution datasets. Choice of grid type matters more for spatial resolution (total number of cells), than for number of species.

In the polygon-to-grid conversion process, two approaches are implemented. For method = 'centroid', a range polygon registers in a cell if the polygon overlaps with the cell centroid. For method = 'percentOverlap', a range polygon registers in a cell if it covers that cell by at least percentThreshold fraction of the cell.

If retainSmallRanges = FALSE, then species whose ranges are so small that no cell registers as present will be dropped. If retainSmallRanges = TRUE, then the cell that contains the majority of the the small polygon will be considered as present, even if it's a small percent of the cell.

If retainSmallRanges = TRUE, and an extent is provided, then species may still be dropped if they fall outside of that extent.

You may see the message Failed to compute min/max, no valid pixels found in sampling. (GDAL error 1) . This just means that a species did not register in any grid cells. If you specified retainSmallRanges = TRUE, then those species will be included in a subsequent step. Therefore, this message can be ignored.

For very large datasets, this function will make a determination as to whether or not there is sufficient memory. If there is not, an alternative approach that uses the data.table package will be employed. Please install this R package to take advantage of this feature.

This function is also enhanced by the installation of the exactextractr R package.

Value

an object of class epmGrid.

the name you would like to attach to the output

Details

This function will identify the neighbors of every cell and will apply the specified function to those sets of cell neighborhoods.

The custom function should have just one input: a list of taxon names, where the list will represent a set of grid cells (focal cell + neighboring cells).

However, if a set of focal coordinates is provided, then rather than apply the function to each neighborhood of cells, the function should have two inputs: the focal cell and another cell, and that function will be applied to every pair defined by the focal cell and another cell. See examples.

Within the function call, the trait data already attached to the epmGrid object must be referred to as dat, and the phylogenetic tree already attached to the epmGrid must be referred to as phylo.

If the input epmGrid object contains a set of trees, then this function will be applied, using each tree in turn, and will return a list of results. This list can then be passed to summarizeEpmGridList to be summarized.

See examples below.

Custom grid metrics

Description

Define your own function for summarizing information across grid cells.

Usage

customGridMetric(
  x,
  fun,
  column = NULL,
  minTaxCount = 1,
  metricName = "custom_metric"
)

Arguments

x

object of class epmGrid

fun

a function to apply to all grid cells (see details)

column

If a univariate morphological metric is specified, and the data in x are multivariate, which trait should be used? This can also specify which subset of columns a multivariate metric should be applied to.

minTaxCount

the minimum number of taxa needed to apply the function. For instance, should the function be applied to gridcells with just 1 taxon?

metricName

the name you would like to attach to the output

Details

This function allows you to not be limited to the diversity metrics available via the gridMetrics function.

The custom function should have just one input: a vector of taxon names that will then be used to subset the trait or phylogenetic data. Within the function call, the trait data already attached to the epmGrid object must be referred to as dat, and the phylogenetic tree already attached to the epmGrid must be referred to as phylo.

If the input epmGrid object contains a set of trees, then this function will be applied, using each tree in turn, and will return a list of results. This list can then be passed to summarizeEpmGridList to be summarized.

See examples below.

Value

object of class epmGrid, or list of epmGrid objects

# In the following examples, notice that any mention of the trait data or 
## phylogeny that are already attached to the epmGrid object are referred 
## to as dat and phylo.

# example: calculate morphological disparity 
## (already implemented in gridMetrics)
f <- function(cells) {

}

# to calculate disparity, we need at least 2 taxa

xx <- customGridMetric(tamiasEPM, fun = f, minTaxCount = 2, 
metricName = 'disparity')

# In the example above, gridcells with 1 species are left as NA. 
## But if we wanted those gridcells to have a value of 0 rather than NA, 
## we could do the following:
f <- function(sp) {
	if (length(sp) == 1) {
		0
	} else {
		sum(diag(cov(dat[sp,])))
	}
}

# and change minTaxCount to 1

# phylogenetic example: mean patristic distance
## this example doesn't actually involve the phylogeny internally,

Grid Metrics

Description

Calculate various morphological and phylogenetic community metrics for every cell in a epmGrid object. To implement other metrics not available here, see customGridMetric.

Usage

gridMetrics(
  x,
  metric,
  column = NULL,
  verbose = FALSE,
  dataType = c("auto", "univariate", "multivariate", "pairwise")
)

Arguments

x

object of class epmGrid

metric

name of metric to use, see Details.

column

If a univariate morphological metric is specified, and the data in x are multivariate, which trait should be used? This can also specify which subset of columns a multivariate metric should be applied to.

verbose

Print various messages to the console. Default is TRUE.

dataType

Specify the type of input data that the metric will be calculated from. Defaults to 'auto' in which case this is determined based on the data structure.

Details

Univariate trait metrics

  • mean

  • median

  • range

  • variance

  • mean_NN_dist: mean nearest neighbor distance

  • min_NN_dist: minimum nearest neighbor distance

  • evenness: variance of nearest neighbor distances, larger values imply decreasing evenness

  • arithmeticWeightedMean (see below)

  • geometricWeightedMean (see below)

Multivariate trait metrics

  • mean: mean of pairwise distance matrix derived from multivariate data

  • median: median of pairwise distance matrix derived from multivariate data

  • disparity

  • partialDisparity: contribution of species in each gridcell to overall disparity, returned as the ratio of summed partial disparities to total disparity.

  • range

  • mean_NN_dist: mean nearest neighbor distance

  • min_NN_dist: minimum nearest neighbor distance

  • evenness: variance of nearest neighbor distances, larger values imply decreasing evenness.

Phylogenetic metrics

  • pd: Faith's phylogenetic diversity, including the root

  • meanPatristic

  • meanPatristicNN: mean nearest neighbor in patristic distance

  • minPatristicNN: minimum nearest neighbor in patristic distance

  • phyloEvenness: variance of nearest neighbor patristic distances, larger values imply decreasing evenness

  • phyloDisparity: sum of squared deviations in patristic distance

  • PSV: Phylogenetic Species Variability

  • PSR: Phylogenetic Species Richness

  • DR: non-parametric estimate of speciation rates

Range-weighted metrics

  • weightedEndemism: Species richness inversely weighted by range size.

  • correctedWeightedEndemism: Weighted endemism standardized by species richness

  • phyloWeightedEndemism: Phylogenetic diversity inversely weighted by range size associated with each phylogenetic branch.

If data slot contains a pairwise matrix, column is ignored. Weighted mean options are available where, for each cell, a weighting scheme (inverse of species range sizes) is applied such that small-ranged species are up-weighted, and broadly distributed species are down-weighted. This can be a useful way to lessen the influence of broadly distributed species in the geographic mapping of trait data.

It may be desirable to have metrics calculated for a dataset where only taxa shared across geography, traits and phylogeny are included. The function reduceToCommonTaxa does exactly that.

If a set of trees are associated with the input epmGrid object x, then the metric is calculated for each tree, and a list of epmGrid objects is returned. This resulting list can be summarized with the function summarizeEpmGridList. For instance the mean and variance can be calculated, to show the central tendency of the metric across grid cells, and to quantify where across geography variability in phylogenetic topography manifests itself.

To implement other metrics not available here, see customGridMetric.

Value

object of class epmGrid where the grid represents calculations of the metric at every cell. The species identities per grid cell are those that had data for the calculation of the metric. If taxa were dropped from the initial epmGrid object, then they have been removed from this epmGrid. If a set of trees was involved, then returns a list of epmGrid objects.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'epmGrid'
identify(x, returnCell = FALSE, ...)

Arguments

x

object of class epmGrid or sf

returnCell

boolean; if FALSE, then species names are returned, if TRUE, then cell indices are returned.

...

additional arguments passed to sf::plot

Details

This is a wrapper function for the identify function in base graphics. This is primarily intended as a useful function for data exploration and spot-checking.

Interactively choose extent

Description

Given a list of polygons or point occurrences, sets up an interactive plot to allow the user to draw the desired extent. This can be used to define the extent in createEPMgrid.

Usage

interactiveExtent(polyList, cellType = "square", bb = NULL)

Arguments

polyList

a list of Simple Feature polygons or points.

cellType

either hexagon or square.

bb

c(xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax) to limit the extent for the interactive plot.

Details

This function returns both a sf polygon and the same polygon as a WKT string. Either can be supplied to createEPMgrid as the extent. A recommended strategy is to use this function to find your extent, and to copy/paste the WKT string into your R script so that you can retain it for future use, and maintain reproducibility. See example.

What is chosen for cellType has no effect on what you might choose in createEPMgrid. Square cells will probably be fastest. If hexagons are selected, grid cell points are plotted instead of polygons to speed up plotting.

You may see the message Failed to compute min/max, no valid pixels found in sampling. (GDAL error 1) . This just means that a species did not register in any grid cells. This can be ignored.

The basemap is from https://www.naturalearthdata.com/.

Value

A list with a polygon, and its WKT string

Examples

if (interactive()) {
	ex <- interactiveExtent(tamiasPolyList)

	# You can use this as the extent in createEPMgrid
	grid <- createEPMgrid(tamiasPolyList, resolution = 50000, extent = ex$wkt)

	# One way to make your code reproducible would be to copy/paste the wkt 
	# in your code for future use:
	ex <- interactiveExtent(tamiasPolyList)
	ex$wkt
	customExtent <- "POLYGON ((-2238201 3532133, -2675450 1722657, -2470677 -317634,

Plot epmGrid

Description

Plot a epmGrid object. This function uses the tmap package for plotting by default.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'epmGrid'
plot(
  x,
  log = FALSE,
  legend = TRUE,
  col,
  basemap = "worldmap",
  colorRampRange = NULL,
  minTaxCount = "auto",
  zoom = TRUE,
  ignoredColor = gray(0.9),
  lwd,
  borderCol = "black",
  alpha = 1,
  includeFrame = FALSE,
  use_tmap = TRUE,
  fastPoints = FALSE,
  title = "",
  add = FALSE,
  ...
)

Arguments

x

object of class epmGrid

log

boolean; should the cell values be logged?

legend

boolean; should legend be included?

col

either a vector of color names that will be interpolated, or a color ramp function that takes an integer (see for example colorRampPalette).

basemap

if 'none', then only the grid is plotted. If 'worldmap', then vector map is plotted. If 'interactive', then the plot is sent to the web browser.

colorRampRange

numeric vector of min and max value for scaling the color ramp. Automatically inferred if set to NULL. This is relevant if multiple plots are desired on the same scale. See getMultiMapRamp.

minTaxCount

an integer, or 'auto'. Should cells containing certain numbers of taxa be grayed out? For example, should single-taxon cells be ignored because the metric only makes sense for multi-taxon cells? This is predetermined for all metrics in gridMetrics if minTaxCount = 'auto'.

zoom

Should plot zoom in on cells with data. Default is TRUE.

ignoredColor

color for ignored cells. See details.

lwd

grid cell border width

borderCol

color for grid cell borders

alpha

opacity of all colors and borders, ranging from 0 (fully transparent) to 1 (fully opaque)

includeFrame

boolean; include frame around plot?

use_tmap

boolean; if FALSE, plotting will be done via sf instead of tmap package

fastPoints

Intended for debugging purposes. For hex grids and use_tmap = F, plot points instead of polygons. Helpful for sorting out plotting details without waiting for slow polygon plotting.

title

text to add to the plot

add

logical, add to existing plot?

...

additional arguments that can be passed to sf::plot or terra::plot if use_tmap = FALSE

Details

If x is a metric as generated with gridMetrics that returns 0 for single-species cells, then those cells (that have a value of 0) will be plotted in gray (or any color as specified with ignoredColor) if minTaxCount = 'auto'. You can specify other values as well. For instance, if you use the function customGridMetric to calculate phylogenetic signal, which is a metric that only makes sense for cells with 3 or more taxa, then you could then specify minTaxCount = 3. Setting minTaxCount = 1 shows all cells with data.

If the tmap package is not installed, then this function will default to plotting with sf::plot.

If you would like more control over the legend, then plot with tmap = FALSE and legend = FALSE, and then call the function addLegend.

Value

Nothing is returned if plotting with tmap (the default). If plotting with use_tmap = FALSE, and if the plot is directed to a variable, then this variable will contain relevant information to be passed on to the function addLegend:

# Here, we are just generating some random data for demo
env <- rast(vect(tamiasEPM[[1]]), resolution = 100000)
env[] <- sample(1:100, ncell(env), replace = TRUE)
plot(env)

# Now, if we are interested in doing analyses of environmental data in relation to 
# the epmGrid data we have, we want to convert the env data to the same grid structure
# where the cells align and where raster grid values are resampled and averaged.

newgrid <- rasterToGrid(env, target = tamiasEPM, fun = 'mean')
plot(newgrid)


# again but this time the input has multiple layers
env <- rast(vect(tamiasEPM[[1]]), resolution = 100000, nlyr = 3)

Summarize lists of epmGrid objects

Description

If a diversity metric was calculated for an epmGrid object that contained a phylogenetic distribution, then a list of resulting epmGrid objects was returned. This function will take that list, and apply a summary statistic, returning a single epmGrid object. If the input list is from betadiv_phylogenetic, then that list of sf or SpatRaster objects can also be summarized with this function.

Usage

summarizeEpmGridList(x, fun = mean)

Arguments

Data table from epmGrid

Description

Given one or several epmGrid objects, sf objects, rasterLayers, SpatRasters, create a table of values and associated coordinate data.

Usage

tableFromEpmGrid(..., n = NULL, minTaxCount = 1, coords = NULL, id = FALSE)

Arguments

...

objects of class epmGrid, sf, sp, SpatRaster, RasterLayer or RasterStack. All should have the same projection.

n

number of cells to randomly subsample, no subsampling if NULL

minTaxCount

integer; cells with at least this many taxa will be included.

coords

if NULL, then points are sampled as needed, otherwise, data will be extracted at these specified coordinates.

id

boolean, should the grid cell index (of the first item in the inputs) be returned as well?

Details

A set of cells are identified in the input objects. If n=NULL, then all cells are used, otherwise cells are randomly subsampled. Values at those cells are then returned. This table construction can be particularly useful for subsequent statistical analyses.

Only cells with data in all inputs are returned. If n is greater than the number of cells with data, then fewer than n cells will be returned.

The first element provided should be a epmGrid object, and that will be the one used as a template for the sampled grid system.

If coords is provided, then data are extracted at those coordinates, and no subsetting of those points is done.

Value

data.frame with input variables, as well as "x" and "y".
