Update waterbird and tidal marsh bird predictors: covertype and LANDCOVER

Helper function for updating covertype and LANDCOVER predictors for the waterbird and tidal marsh bird distribution models, respectively.

Usage

update_covertype(
  landscape,
  key,
  SDM,
  mask = NULL,
  pathout,
  landscape_name,
  overwrite = FALSE
)

Arguments

landscape: SpatRaster created by terra::rast()
key: tibble, dataframe, or character string defining a filepath passed to readr::read_csv(), used to interpret the raster values in landscape to land cover class names; see Details
SDM: The name of intended species distribution model: "waterbird_fall", "waterbird_win", or "tima"
mask: Optional filepath to a raster that should be used to mask the output, e.g. a study area boundary
pathout, landscape_name: Character strings defining the filepath (pathout/SDM/landscape_name) where output rasters should be written
overwrite: Logical; passed to terra::writeRaster(); default FALSE

Value

Nothing; all files written to pathout

Details

Classifies the landscape rasters according to the land cover classes that were originally surveyed, which are the only classes for which predictions should be generated from the waterbird distribution models. For "waterbird_fall" or "waterbird_win" SDMs, generates file covertype.tif and for "tima" SDMs, generates file LANDCOVER.tif. Output is written to pathout/SDM/scenario_name/.
