biodivMapR: An r package for α‐ and β‐diversity mapping using remotely sensed images

The accelerated erosion of biodiversity is a critical environmental challenge. Operational methods for the monitoring of biodiversity taking advantage of remotely sensed data are needed in order to provide information to ecologists and decision‐makers. We present an R package designed to compute a selection of α‐ and β‐diversity indicators from optical imagery, based on spectral variation hypothesis. This package builds upon previous work on...
