Download and process Hybrid Global Annual 1-km IGBP Land Cover Maps

This function downloads, processes, and extracts land cover variables from the Hybrid Global Annual 1-km IGBP Land Cover Maps dataset (Luo et al., 2024). The data covers the period from 2000 to 2020.

Usage

hybridlandcover(x, vars = NULL, year = 2000, ...)

Arguments

x: The output from `par_set()` defining the area or locations for extraction, the reference system, and the buffer. Leave this empty and use `par_set()` to define parameters for download.
vars: Character vector of one or more variables to download and process.
year: Integer. The year for which to download the land cover map (2000-2020). Defaults to 2000.
...: Additional arguments (currently unused).

Value

If `par_set()` contained a raster/polygon/points with buffer: a `SpatRaster` stack of processed variables. If `par_set()` contained spatial points or data.frame of points without buffer: a `data.frame` of x, y, and extracted values.

Details

Available variables (working synonyms in parentheses):

1 - "landcover" ("cover", "land", "lc", "igbp", "hybrid")

Note: You must specify the `year` argument (integer between 2000 and 2020).
