Evaluating Conservation Reserves
This package contains functions (and example data) that aid in evaluating the performance of a conservation reserve in protecting the suitable habitat of species of conservation interest. This package was designed specifically to assess conservation reserves created for an umbrella species--hence the name.
version 0.1.0: Contains two functions (sumRaster and simReserve) and three example datasets (demo.sdm, demo.rsv, and demo.msk).
Tutorial: See UmbrellaMethodsDemo.R in the top-level directory for a tutorial use of the package including example data. This file was supplied as a supplement to a Carlisle et al. manuscript currently in review.
Bugs: Bug reports or suggestions for the umbrella package should be directed to jason.d.carlisle@gmail.com.
To install and load umbrella in R, run the following (requires the devtools package):
devtools::install_github("jcarlis3/umbrella@master")
require(umbrella)
