Create Threatened Ecosystems (for Restoration) Raster Based on Intactness and Degradation

This function identifies areas that are both ecologically threatened and degraded, representing priority targets for ecological restoration. It filters the threat values from threatened_ecosystems_input to retain only those pixels that overlap with degraded areas indicated in degradation_input. The output is a continuous raster with threat values masked to degraded zones.

Usage

make_threatened_ecosystems_restoration(
  iso3,
  pus,
  threatened_ecosystems_input = NULL,
  degradation_input = NULL,
  output_path = NULL
)

Arguments

iso3

Character. ISO3 country code (e.g., "KEN") used for naming and processing.

pus

SpatRaster. Planning units raster used for resolution and extent.

threatened_ecosystems_input

SpatRaster. Raster from make_threatened_ecosystems() containing ecosystem threat values.

degradation_input

SpatRaster. Raster from make_restore_zone() indicating degraded areas.

output_path

Character or NULL. Optional output directory to save the resulting raster.

Value

A SpatRaster containing threat values masked to degraded areas only.

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
threatened_restoration <- make_threatened_ecosystems_restoration(
  iso3 = "KEN",
  pus = planning_units,
  threatened_ecosystems_input = rast("outputs/threatened_ecosystems_for_protection_KEN.tif"),
  degradation_input = rast("outputs/restore_zones_KEN.tif"),
  output_path = "outputs"
)
} # }
