Export a site-by-feature matrix for conservation planning

Builds a wide site-by-feature table (coverage-standardised diversity or species abundances) suitable for prioritizr. Does not call prioritizr or embed a solver; hand the matrix to that package yourself.

Usage

geo_as_features(
  data,
  site = site,
  species = species,
  abundance = NULL,
  value = NULL,
  features = "feature"
)

Arguments

data

Community table or a diversity table with a site column.

site, species, abundance, value

Column selections. For diversity tables, pass value (for example diversity) and omit species.

features

Optional feature name when exporting a single diversity metric (defaults to "feature").

Value

A tibble with site and one column per feature.

Details

Spectral diversity / Google Earth Engine workflows remain deferred (link only; no rgee dependency).

Examples
