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.
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")
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 |
| Global Surface Water | Time series data of global surface water between 1984 -- 2021 | JRC |
