getAOO determines the number of area of occupancy (AOO) grid cells
occupied by a species or ecosystem. It includes capability for specifying
whether at least one percent of the grid cell needs to be occupied before it
is counted in the AOO. This functionality is important for assessing the IUCN
Red List of Ecosystems Criteria B.
Usage
getAOO(
input_data,
cell_size = 10000,
names_from = NA,
bottom_1pct_rule = TRUE,
percent = 1,
jitter = TRUE,
n_jitter = 35
)Arguments
- input_data
Spatial object (sf or SpatRaster) of an ecosystem or species distribution. Please use a CRS with units measured in metres.
- cell_size
A number specifying the width of the desired grid square (in same units as your coordinate reference system)
- names_from
the name of the column containing ecosystem labels
- bottom_1pct_rule
Logical. If
TRUE, grid cells containing the least ecosystem area are dropped up to 1% of the total distribution.- percent
Numeric. The minimum percent to be applied as a threshold for the
bottom_1pct_rule- jitter
logical. Whether grid randomization should be applied to units with low grid counts.
- n_jitter
the number of grids to test for ecosystems near the AOO thresholds. Ignored if jitter = FALSE.
Value
an object of class AOOgrid or a list of AOOgrid objects. Ecosystems that received an AOO of 60 cells or fewer on a first pass are run with a jittered grid with n specified by n_jitter
