Download the Chorological Maps

Description

Download the Chorological Maps for the main European Woody Species.

Usage

fd_forest_chorological(species, range = "nat", quiet = FALSE)
fd_forest_chorological(species, range = "nat", quiet = FALSE)

Arguments

`species`	a character vector with the Latin name of a tree species contained in the Chorological Maps database (see details)
`range`	the default "`nat`" downloads the probable native range of the species, while "`syn`" downloads the synanthropic range (i.e. the introduced and naturalized area and isolated population since Neolithic)
`quiet`	if `TRUE`, suppress any message or progress bar

Details

Data may be freely used for research, study, or teaching, but be cited appropriately (see references below).

The chorological maps provide a general overview of the distribution of the main European woody species. The geodatabase was formed by the combination of numerous and heterogeneous data for a continental-scale overview of the species' distribution range. There are a total of 4 versions available, and the function will get the most recent version for each of the species. This means for instance that some species may be on version 2, and therefore, the data from that version will be retrieved.

Value

sf object

The data of EU-Trees4F database represent the distribution of the main woody species in Europe at 5 arc-minutes (~ 10 km) spatial resolution, in the Lambert Azimuthal Equal Area (EPSG:3035) CRS. The possible models to download are the following:

Model: type of model used

clim: climatic ensemble. A ensemble mean model that projects a consensus model from biomod2 into future conditions using the average of 11 Regional Climate Models (RCM).
sdms: Species Distribution Model (SDM) ensemble. A model that projects the consensus model for every single RCM, and then it averages the output of then 11 SDMs.

Period: 30-year time period

2005: for current projections. This option ignores the scenario argument. They are not available for model = 'sdms' with type = 'std'.
2035: average of 2020-2050
2065: average of 2050-2080
2095: average of 2080-2110
all: get the four periods (or three for std type). Note that for some species or configurations this might fail, because the raster extent might not match in different periods

Scenario: climate change scenario

rcp45: a climate change scenario that assumes moderate emissions reductions
rcp85: a climate change scenario with high greenhouse gas emissions and limited mitigation efforts

Type: type of output layer

bin: binary distribution map, where 1 represents presence of the tree species, while 0 represents absence of the tree species, derived from the prob map
prob: probability distribution map (0-1000). Represents the probability of being the potential distribution of the species
std: standard deviation of prob map. Only available for model = 'sdms'.

Distrib: type of species distribution

nat: realized distribution (masked with native range). Only available with type = 'bin'
pot: potential distribution
disp: natural dispersal model (migclim). Only available with type = 'bin'
disp_lu: natural dispersal model clipped by forest areas. Only available with type = 'bin'

Value

A single-band or multi-band SpatRaster

CODE_TFV: alphanumeric code of the vegetation formation
TFV: vegetation formation type
TFV_G11: type of coverage and predominant composition of the vegetation in 11 groups
ESSENCE: description of tree species according to the unique basic nomenclature for all departments

The BD Forêt version 2 was developed between 2007 and 2018 by photointerpretation of color infrared images from the BD ORTHO. It assigns a vegetation formation type to each mapped area larger than 5,000 $m^2$ . This version contains the variables:

DEP: department name
CYCLE: order number of the departmental revision
ANREF: year of reference of the data
TFIFN: code of the departalmental type of vegetation cover. The nomenclature is specific to each department

This function will download the DEFID2 database to the temporary directory once per session. After it's downloaded, the queries to the database are faster than the first time.

Note that 99.6% of the observations correspond to Picea abies. Also, 99.3% of the observations are in Czechia.

The data comprises over 650,000 georeferenced records, which can be retrieved as points or polygons, representing insects and diseases that occurred between 1963 and 2021 in European Forests.

Please, cite the data with the reference below.
