This function is used to calculate the species richness (SR) for the geographic features of interest from a list of community matrices.

SR_geo(data, geo_group)

Arguments

data

A list of community matrices that have column with the geographic names. Each entry in the list should be a different species group and that list entry should be named with the group name. The resulting object from the com_matrix() is already formatted for this function.

geo_name

A character equal to the column name of the data frame(s) in 'data' in which the geographic feature names are stored

Value

A data frame that holds the SR values for each geographic feature and species group.

Examples

if (FALSE) {

library(here)
library(reshape)

dat <- read.csv(file.path(here(), 'data_raw', 'IBT_Herp_Records_v6.csv'), header=TRUE)

coms <- com_matrix(species = "binomial",
                   geo_group = "bank",
                   taxa_group = "class",
                   status = "bnk_status",
                   stat_levels = c('N', "E"),
                   total = TRUE,
                   data = dat)

SR <- SR_geo(data = coms, geo_group = "bank")
