spat.beta {divraster}

Spatial beta diversity for raster

Description

Calculates spatial beta diversity for taxonomic (TD), functional (FD), and phylogenetic (PD) dimensions. Adapted from beta.

Usage

spat.beta(
  x,
  tree,
  filename = "",
  global = FALSE,
  fm = NULL,
  d = mean(terra::res(terra::rast(x))) * 2,
  type = "circle",
  na.policy = "omit",
  ...
)

Arguments

x

A SpatRaster with presence-absence data (0 or 1) for a set of species.

tree

It can be a 'data.frame' with species traits or a 'phylo' with a rooted phylogenetic tree. Species names in 'tree' and 'x' must match!

filename

Character. Save results if a name is provided.

global

Logical. Mean of pairwise comparisons between focal cell and its neighbors (default) or mean of all pairwise comparisons.

fm

Numeric. Focal matrix ("moving window").

d

Window radius to compute beta diversity.

type

Character. Window format. Default = "circle".

na.policy

Character. Default = "omit". See ?terra::focal3D for details.

...

Additional arguments to be passed passed down from a calling function.

Details

The TD beta diversity partitioning framework we used was developed by Podani and Schmera (2011) and Carvalho et al. (2012) and expanded to PD and FD by Cardoso et al. (2014).

Value

A SpatRaster with beta results (total, replacement, richness difference, and ratio).
