anthrodisturbance_generator - anthroDisturbance_Generator v.1.1.0

NEWS Bug Fixes and Stability * Addressed several minor bugs for improved overall performance. * Implemented a catch for disturbances listed as "NA" to prevent potential errors. * Added a catch for scenarios with a disturbance but no potential in the SA, which now correctly returns NULL. * Conducted a major cleanup of the codebase for enhanced stability. * Improved error catching and addressed various edge cases. New Features * Added a Google Drive (gdrive) package for better integration. * ntroduced flexibility to allow the use of other layers for calculating the rate of disturbance. Improvements * Improved the default settings for a better user experience out-of-the-box.

anthrodisturbance_generator - anthroDisturbance_Generator v.1.0.0

NEWS

• Prepared for implementing use of roads package
• Added seismic lines generation
• Now the module has the option of generating the outputs as rasters or a mix of raster and vectors. There is a tradeoff in precision (i.e., due to raster resolution) when generating as raster
• Improved messaging (i.e., checkDisturbancesForBuffer buffer the recently disturbed layer and compare it to the previous layer, outputting a message)
• The user can now choose if disturbances should start in the first year of simulations or at the subsequent step
• User can decide now if the disturbances should be related to buffered area or not
• There are new parameters (growthStepGenerating, connectingBlockSize) for speeding up total area of new disturbances type Generating with a tradeoff in precision to achieve the disturbance target
• Seismic lines can now be used not only as enlarging, but also as generated disturbances
• Now it is possible to provide a folder (.inputFolderFireLayer) for the location of the current fire raster (i.e.,rstCurrBurn) if not in the inputs folder
• It is now possible to define a total disturbance rate for each step (i.e., annual) to be achieved, which is divided across sectors based on (i.e., ECCC) data. Useful for scenario based simulations. Alternatively, one can provide now the disturbance rate for each sector by passing the DisturbanceRate data.table.
• It is now possible to avoid double counting of disturbances area using the parameters aggregateSameDisturbances and maskOutLinesFromPolys
• There are now two possible ways to generate disturbances: new disturbances can be generated in the best area until the area has been exhausted, or to probabilistically select which polygon (i.e., area) the provided disturbance will fall within, with a precision-speed tradeoff.
• The user can now pass a .runName for saving purposes. This is useful for replicates or when running the module for multiple study areas.
