ecoregion function

Calculate terrestrial ecoregions statistics (TEOW) based on WWF

Calculate terrestrial ecoregions statistics (TEOW) based on WWF

This function allows to efficiently retrieve the name of the ecoregions and compute the corresponding area from Terrestrial Ecoregions of the World (TEOW) - World Wildlife Fund (WWF) for polygons. For each polygon, the name and area of the ecoregions (in hectare) is returned. The required resources for this indicator are:

  • teow
calc_ecoregion()

Returns

A function that returns an indicator tibble with ecoregion type as variable and corresponding area (in ha) as value.
