Update waterbird and tidal marsh bird predictors: covertype and LANDCOVER

Helper function for updating covertype and LANDCOVER predictors for the waterbird ("waterbird_fall", "waterbird_win") and tidal marsh ("tima") distribution models, respectively.

Usage

update_covertype(x, SDM, mask = NULL, dir = NULL, overwrite = FALSE, ...)

Arguments

x: SpatRaster
SDM: The name of intended species distribution model: "waterbird_fall", "waterbird_win", or "tima"
mask: Optional SpatRaster or string representing filepath to a raster that should be used to mask the output, e.g. a study area boundary
dir: Optional string representing directory passed to terra::writeRaster(), as (dir/SDM/landscape_name). See Details.
overwrite: logical. If TRUE, output is overwritten
...: additional arguments passed to terra::writeRaster()

Value

SpatRaster with the same number of layers as the input x, names required by the selected SDM.

Details

Classifies land cover rasters to generate categorical predictors required by the "waterbird_fall", "waterbird_win", and "tima" models. The input raster x should already represent land cover predictors required by the selected SDM, i.e. output from classify_landcover.SpatRaster(). A mask raster can optionally be provided, either as a SpatRaster or a filepath to a raster, to first mask the input raster(s) x. Output can be optionally written to dir/SDM/landscape_name where landscape_name is taken from the names of the input raster(s) x.
