Predictors used in distribution models for waterbird groups during the fall season

Source: R/predictors_waterbird_fall.R
predictors_waterbird_fall.Rd

Predictor names and how they crosswalk to the major land cover classes and subclasses listed in the vegetation key. This crosswalk is nearly identical to predictors_waterbirds_win except that in the winter, agricultural fields specified as "winter wheat" are separated from other grains.

Usage

predictors_waterbird_fall

Format

predictors_waterbird_fall A data frame with 81 rows and 4 columns:

CODE_NUM

Numeric value used to encode rasters, matching key

CODE_NAME

Text string joining major land cover classes to subclasses with a '_', matching key

PREDICTOR_NAME

Corresponding predictor name in tidal marsh bird distribution models

PREDICTOR_NUM

Corresponding numeric value used to reclassify land cover rasters for use with tidal marsh bird distribution models

Details

Land cover classes or subclasses with NA values in PREDICTOR_NAME and PREDICTOR_NUM are excluded from these models.

This data set is primarily for use in the classify_landcover() function.
