Extract information from Natura 2000 sites within a target area of interest by means of spatial intersection.

Description

Extract Natura 2000 site information which overlap specified spatial locations.

Usage

n2000_intersect(n2000_file, target_areas, byid = T, enclosed = F)

Arguments

n2000_file

['character'] or ['object'] The file path to the Natura2000 geopackage. Alternatively the name of the loaded geopackage in the environment.
target_areas

['character'] or ['object'] The file path to the spatial polygon(s) for the area of interest. Must be readable by sf::st_read(). Alternatively the name of the loaded spatial data in the environment.
byid

['logical']. Should data be extracted for each target area (TRUE) or should they be merged first (FALSE)? Defaults to TRUE.
enclosed

['logical']. Should Natura 2000 sites only be included if they are fully enclosed by the target area? Defaults to FALSE.

Details

If the CRS of the target_areas does not match that of the Natura 2000 data, the target_areas are first reprojected.

Map Natura 2000 sites using WMS services

Description

N.b. This function requires the leaflet, and leaflet.extras2 packages to be installed and a functioning internet connection.

Usage

n2000_mapwms(title = "N2000", clng = NA, clat = NA, czoom = NA)

Arguments

title

The [‘character'] title of the WMS layer to be rendered. Options are: ’N2000', 'CDDA', and 'N2000_centroids'. Defaults to 'N2000'. See details.
clng

The ['numeric'] centre-point longitude coordinate of the field of view. See details.
clat

The ['numeric'] centre-point latitude coordinate of the field of view. See details.
czoom

The ['numeric'] zoom level to use. See details.

Details

‘title' has three options: ’N2000' to render Natura 2000 sites, 'CDDA' to render sites listed on the Common Database on Designated Areas (i.e. nationally designated areas) or 'N2000_centroids' to render only the centroids of the Natura 2000 sites.

The default field of view for either title = "N2000" or title = "CDDA" focuses on the Schlosspark in Laxenburg, Austria. This is arbitrary, and does not by any means reflect any biases on the parts of the authors. The default for title = "N2000_centroids" gives view of most of Europe.

Plot Natura 2000 data

Description

Wrapper around ggplot for convenience plotting with optional grid or administrative boundaries. Requires ggplot2 to be installed.

Usage

n2000_plot(x, option, borders = "midres", grid = F, sea = T)

Arguments

x

A sf object to plot.
option

The character type of data to plot. Options are "PO" ('presence only' - sites where the species is present), "PA" ('presence absence' - sites where the species is present and absent), "abundancelow" (the lower bound of abundance), "abundancehigh" (the higher bound of abundance), or "abundancemid" (the arithmetic mean of the upper and lower population bounds).
borders

(optional) A character input - should country borders be plotted? Options are "no", "lowres", "midres", "highres". Defaults to "midres", which, along with lowres is included in the package data. "highres" is first retrieved via the rnaturalearth package.
grid

(optional) A logical input. Should a grid be added too? Defaults to FALSE.
sea

(optional) A logical input. Should the sea be coloured in? Defaults to TRUE.
