Build occurrences cube

Source: R/taxa_cube.R
taxa_cube.Rd

Prepare data cube to calculate species impact . The function taxa_cube can take in the scientific name of the taxa of interest as in character or GBIF occurrences data containing necessary columns. The GBIF occurrences is downloaded if scientific names is given.

Usage

taxa_cube(
  taxa,
  region,
  limit = 500,
  country = NULL,
  res = 0.25,
  first_year = NULL,
  last_year = NULL
)

Arguments

taxa

Character or dataframe. The character should be the scientific name of the focal taxa while the dataframe is the GBIF occurrences data which must contain columns "decimalLatitude", "decimalLongitude", "species", "speciesKey", "coordinateUncertaintyInMeters", "dateIdentified", and "year".

region

sf or character. The shapefile of the region of study or a character which represent the name of a country

limit

Number of records to return from GBIF download. Default is set to 500

res

The resolution of grid cells to be used. Default is 0.25

first_year

The year from which the occurrence should start from

last_year

The year at which the occurrence should end

Value

A data cube of sim_cubes
