Release mapme.biodiversity 0.4.0 · mapme-initiative/mapme.biodiversity

New features

added new resource called ucdp_ged providing a database of violent conflict
from 1989 to today
added a new indicator called fatalities aggregating number of deaths
by type of conflict on a monthly time scale based on the ucdp_ged resource.
Added a new resource called fritz_et_al providing a raster layer of deforestation
added a new resource called fritz_et_al providing a raster layer of deforestation
drivers in tropical forests based on Fritz et al. (2022)
added a new indicator called deforestation_drivers using the fritz_et_al resource
to obtain information on the absolute and relative area driving forest losses in
assets for the period 2008-2019
added two new exported functions register_resource() and register_indicator()
which allow users to register custom functions for resources/indicators
added a new vignette for the web-version of the package only informing
about how to obtain wide-output from indicators
added a new vignette for the web-version for a custom analysis of the NASA
FIRMS resource in the example section
added the data for years 2017-2020 to the Global Mangrove Watch resource

Changed the parallel backend to the future
package. Parallel processing is now implemented by
furrr::future_map()
on the asset level within the calc_indicators() function. User code is now
required to set up a plan()
to enable parallel processing. The function call needs to be wrapped on the user
side with progressr::with_progress()
to show a progress bar.
mapme.biodiversity no longer sets terra's temporal directory for you.
Instead you have to call terra::terraOptions() manually

esalandcover indicator now returns the value per each land cover class
exactly once (#177)

disabled running examples on CRAN
disabled tests for get_* functions on CRAN
terra engines now use get() to resolve the requested zonal
statistic function
applying tidyverse coding style to existing code (#156, @karpfen)
extensive re-factoring of vector-raster zonal statistic engines (#150)
extensive re-writing of testing infrastructure for indicator functions omitting
the usage of snapshot tests as far as possible (#142)
rundir and todisk arguments removed from indicator functions since they were
of no practical use
instead of a resource and indicator backlog, resources and indicators are now
registered to .pkgenv and queried there during runtime. This also allows
users to register custom resources/indicator functions
removed deprecation warnings for old resource/indicator name
