Conservation planning dataset for Washington, The United States of America.

Usage

get_wa_pu()

get_wa_locked_in()

get_wa_locked_out()

get_wa_features()

Format

get_wa_pu

terra::rast() object.

get_wa_locked_in

terra::rast() object.

get_wa_locked_out

terra::rast() object.

get_wa_features

terra::rast() object.

Details

The following functions are provided to import data:

get_wa_pu()

Import planning unit data. The planning units are a single layer terra::rast() object. Cell values denote land acquisition costs. These data were originally obtained from Nolte (2020 a,b).

get_wa_locked_in()

Import locked in data. The locked in data are a single layer terra::rast() object. Cell values denote binary values indicating if each cell is predominantly covered by protected areas (excluding those with no mandate for biodiversity protection). These data were originally obtained from USGS (2022)

get_wa_locked_in()

Import locked out data. The locked out are a single layer terra::rast() object. Cell values denote binary values indicating if each cell is predominantly covered by urban areas. These data were originally obtained from the Commission for Environmental Cooperation (2020)

get_wa_features()

Import biodiversity feature data. The feature data are a multi-layer terra::rast() object object. It contains the spatial distribution of 258 bird species. To account for migratory patterns, data are provided for the breeding and non-breeding distributions of species (indicated by "breeding" and "non-breedig" in the layer names). If a species is lacking such information, then the species is denoted with its full distribution (as indicated "full" in the layer names). These data were originally obtained from the eBird Status and Trends dataset (Fink et al. 2020).
