Tools for Spatial Biodiversity Analysis from GDM Rasters Outputs

The gdmtools R package is designed to enhance spatial biodiversity analysis by leveraging outputs from Generalized Dissimilarity Modelling (GDM). Built with high-performance code and parallel processing to efficiently handle large raster grids. The package aims to cover methods introduced in Mokany et al. (2022).

Note: gdmtools is actively under development, so the user interface and function behavior may change.

Currently implemented methods:

  • Protected area representativeness - predicted similarity to protected areas
  • Expected species persistence given changes in habitat condition

Installation

The Rtools toolchain is required to install/build the package on Windows, see the following link for downloading and installing Rtools.
