Overview

About

Maintained by Blas M. BenitoCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Website ↗Issues ↗

Provides spatial datasets ready to use for ecological modelling and raster companion data for prediction: Neanderthal presence during the Last Interglacial (Benito et al. 2017 doi:10.1111/jbi.12845); Plant diversity metrics for the World's Ecoregions (Maestre et al. 2021 doi:10.1111/nph.17398); tree richness across the Americas (Benito et al. 2013 doi:10.1111/2041-210X.12022); plant communities from the Sierra Nevada (Spain) with future climate scenarios (Benito et al. 2013 doi:10.1111/2041-210X.12022); butterfly-plant interaction data from Sierra Nevada (Spain) (Benito et al. 2011 doi:10.1007/s10584-010-0015-3); plant species occurrences in Andalusia (Spain) (Benito et al. 2014 doi:10.1111/ddi.12148); presence of the plant Linaria nigricans and greenhouses (Benito et al. 2009 doi:10.1007/s10531-009-9604-8); global NDVI and environmental predictors, and European oak species occurrences. All datasets include pre-processed environmental predictors ready for statistical modelling.

Changes in 1.0.1

Fixed wrong doi in R/plantae.R and README.md.
Dataset vi_smol is now an sf dataframe.
plantae_extra(), vi_extra(), and trees_extra() now cache their result in memory for the duration of the R session. Subsequent calls within the same session return the cached object instantly without re-reading from disk.

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("spatialData", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("BlasBenito/spatialData")

Development version from BlasBenito/spatialData. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-spatialdata

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled. We list this channel from recorded r2u download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-spatialData

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-spatialData

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed). We list this channel from recorded autoCRAN download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.
