Aggregate species impact categories from impact data.

Usage

impact_cat(
  impact_data,
  species_list,
  trans = 1,
  col_category = NULL,
  col_species = NULL,
  col_mechanism = NULL
)

Arguments

impact_data

The dataframe of species impact which contains columns of impact_category, scientific_name and impact_mechanism.

species_list

The vector of species' list to aggregate their impact categories

trans

Numeric. The type of transformation to convert the EICAT categories to numerical values. 1 converts ("MC", "MN", "MO", "MR", "MV") to (0,1,2,3,4) 2 converts ("MC", "MN", "MO", "MR", "MV") to (1,2,3,4,5) and 3 converts ("MC", "MN", "MO", "MR", "MV") to (1,10,100,1000,10000)

col_category

The name of the column containing the impact categories. The first two letters each categories must be an EICAT short names (e.g "MC -Minimal concern")

col_species

The name of the column containing species names

col_mechanism

The name of the column containing mechanisms of impact

Value

The dataframe containing the aggregated species impact. max - maximum impact of a species. mean - mean impact of a species. max_mech - sum of maximum impact per categories of a species
