This function processes Invasive Alien Species (IAS) data. The function
merges pre-processed distribution data from 3 data sources: GBIF
(GBIF_Process), EASIN (EASIN_Process), eLTER (elTER_Process).
The function prepares final species outputs in the form of 1) species
distribution as SpatRaster (.RData) and .tif using IAS_Distribution; 2)
summary table on the distribution of the species; and 3) JPEG files for the
species distribution showing the the sources of presence data IAS_Plot. It
further generates summary results in the form of maps and figures.
Arguments
- FromHPC
Logical indicating whether the work is being done from HPC, to adjust file paths accordingly. Default:
TRUE.- EnvFile
Character. The path to the environment file containing variables required by the function. Default is ".env".
- NCores
Numeric. Number of cores to use for parallel processing.
- Overwrite
Logical. If
TRUE, existing JPEG files will be overwritten during processing. See IAS_Plot
Note
The function should be used only after data from the three data sources were processed: GBIF (GBIF_Process), EASIN (EASIN_Process), eLTER (elTER_Process).
The function depends on the following functions: IAS_Distribution for prepare species-specific final maps and IAS_Plot for plotting species distribution as JPEG.
