Changelog

Source: NEWS.md

urbioconnect (development version)

  • Use GPL (>= 3) License.

  • drop terra_ prefix and move rast_ functions into scratch where we test the LOO method. * Add sf_ prefix to vector based approaches.

  • Add datasets and dataset loading function

  • Add legend to habitat buffer barrier plot - #66

  • Resolve internal issue where raster might not be exactly aligned, add internal function align_to() in drop_habitat_under_barrier(), fragment_habitat(), and assign_patches_to_fragments().

  • update effective_mesh_size() and connectivity_probability() to go from area_squared –> area_baseline. #128. This will help facilitate #124.

  • habitat_connectivity(), habitat_connectivity_full(), and sf_habitat_connectivity() now take either interpatch_distance or buffer_radius (supply exactly one). The lower-level habitat_buffer() and sf_habitat_buffer() take buffer_radius directly. (#131)

  • habitat_buffer() now warns when the buffer radius is too fine for the raster resolution (smaller than one cell, or not a clean multiple of it) and returns the habitat unchanged instead of erroring. (#131)

  • New vignette vignette("interpatch-distance-and-resolution") on how interpatch distance, buffer radius, and raster resolution interact.

  • Fix the shiny app’s interpatch-distance input, which was read under the wrong id. (#131)

  • Add “patch_connectivity” class to habitat_connectivity() function, to pave the way for attaching useful metadata to these data. (#133).

  • Add patch_connectivity S3 class:

    • add pc_* accessor functions to get: interpatch_distance, patches, res, species.
    • Extend patch_connectivity onto tibble
    • Add various checking functions to ensure you can compare the same species, and metrics together.
    • change area parameter for summarise/compare_connectivity to be connectivity
    • remove use of arguments, target_resolution and aggregation_factor from many functions as it is only really relevant to the spatial processing, and we really only care about the resolution at the end of the day

Breaking changes

  • interpatch_distance is now the full edge-to-edge distance below which two patches count as connected. It is halved internally to the buffer radius, so connectivity results differ from previous versions; reproduce old output by passing buffer_radius = the old value. (#131)
