MAPBIOMAS - The Annual Land Cover and Use Mapping Project in Brazil

Loads information about land cover and use

load_mapbiomas(
  dataset,
  raw_data = FALSE,
  geo_level = "municipality",
  language = "eng",
  cover_level = 1
)

Arguments

dataset

A dataset name ("mapbiomas_cover", "mapbiomas_transition", "mapbiomas_irrigation", "mapbiomas_deforestation_regeneration", "mapbiomas_mining", "mapbiomas_grazing_quality", "mapbiomas_water" or "mapbiomas_fire")

raw_data

A boolean setting the return of raw (TRUE) or processed (FALSE) data.

geo_level

A string that defines the geographic level of the data.

  • For datasets "mapbiomas_cover", "mapbiomas_transition", "mapbiomas_deforestation_regeneration" and "mapbiomas_fire", can be "municipality" or "state" (faster download).

  • For dataset "mapbiomas_mining", can be "indigenous_land", "municipality", "state", "biome" or "country".

  • For dataset "mapbiomas_irrigation", can be "state" or "biome".

  • For dataset "mapbiomas_water", can be "municipality", "state" or "biome".

  • Does not apply to other datasets.

language

A string that indicates in which language the data will be returned. Portuguese ("pt") and English ("eng") are supported.

cover_level

A numeric or string that indicates the cover aggregation level. Can be "0", "1", "2", "3", "4", or "none", which means no aggregation. Aggregation only supported for "mapbiomas_cover" and "mapbiomas_grazing_quality" datasets.

Value

A tibble.

Examples

if (FALSE) {
# download treated Mapbiomas Cover data in english at the highest aggregation level
data <- load_mapbiomas(
  dataset = "mapbiomas_cover",
  raw_data = FALSE,
  geo_level = "municipality",
  language = "eng",
  cover_level = 0
)

# download treated Mapbiomas Transition data in portuguese
data <- load_mapbiomas(
  dataset = "mapbiomas_transition", raw_data = FALSE,
  geo_level = "state", language = "pt"
)

# download treated data on mining on indigenous lands
data <- load_mapbiomas("mapbiomas_mining",
  raw_data = FALSE,
  geo_level = "indigenous_land"
)
}
