Agricultural Land Use Evaluation System

Description

Agricultural Land Use Evaluation System (ALUES) is a package that evaluates land suitability for different crop production. The package is based on the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) methodology for land evaluation. Development of ALUES is inspired by similar tool for land evaluation, Land Use Suitability Evaluation Tool (LUSET). The package uses fuzzy logic approach to evaluate land suitability of a particular area based on inputs such as rainfall, temperature, topography, and soil properties. The membership functions used for fuzzy modeling are the following: Triangular, Trapezoidal, Gaussian, Sigmoidal and custom models with functions that can be defined by the user. The package also aims on complicated methods like considering more than one fuzzy membership function on different suitability class. The methods for computing the overall suitability of a particular area are also included, and these are the Minimum, Maximum, Product, Sum, Average, Exponential and Gamma. Finally, ALUES utilizes the power of Rcpp library for efficient computation.

Overall Suitability Scores/Class of the Land Units

Description

This function computes the overall suitability scores and class of the land units.

Usage

overall_suit(suit, method = NULL, interval = NULL)

Arguments

suit

an object of class suitability.

method

a character for the method for computing the overall suitability, choices are: "minimum", "maximum", and "average". If NULL, method is set to "minimum".

interval

if NULL, the interval of the suitability class are the following: 0% - 25% (Not suitable, N), 25% - 50% (Marginally Suitable, S3), 50% - 75% (Moderately Suitable, S2), and 75% - 100% (Highly Suitable, S1). But users can assign custom intervals by specifying the values of the end points of the intervals. Say for intervals: 0% - 20% (Not suitable, N), 20% - 50% (Marginally Suitable, S3), 50% - 80% (Moderately Suitable, S2), and 80% - 100% (Highly Suitable, S1), is equivalent to interval = c(0, 0.2, 0.5, 0.8, 1).

Value

A data frame with columns:

  • Score - the overall suitability scores

  • Class - the overall suitability classes

See Also

https://alstat.github.io/ALUES/; suit

Examples

# The overall suitability can be computed using the `overall_suit` 
# function, which takes an object of class suitability. For example,
library(ALUES)
banana_suit <- suit("banana", terrain=MarinduqueLT)
class(banana_suit[["terrain"]])
class(banana_suit[["soil"]])

# If we take a look at the output of both terrain and soil 
# characteristics, we have:

# lapply is used to show the head of each item in the list
lapply(banana_suit[["terrain"]], function(x) head(x)) 
lapply(banana_suit[["soil"]], function(x) head(x)) 

# There are no factors targetted for the terrain 
# characteristics, that is why the returned value is a 
# string error. Thus, only the soil characteristics can 
# have an overall suitability, and is computed as follows:
ovsuit <- overall_suit(banana_suit[["soil"]])
head(ovsuit)

# By default, the `overall_suit` function uses minimum 
# as a summary statistics, hence the 0 scores and N 
# classes across land units. To adjust this to average 
# aggregation, use the `method` argument to specify.
ovsuit <- overall_suit(banana_suit[["soil"]], method="average")
head(ovsuit)

## Intervals
# By default, the `overall_suit` uses an equally spaced 
# interval for the suitability classes, that is, 
# N [0, 0.25), S3 [0.25, 0.50), S2 [0.50, 0.75), 
# and S1 [0.75, 1]. This can be changed using the 
# `interval` argument, for example
ovsuit <- overall_suit(banana_suit[["soil"]], method="average", 
interval=c(0, 0.6, 0.7, 0.9, 1))
head(ovsuit)

# The above code sets the suitability class intervals 
# into: N [0, 0.60), S3 [0.60, 0.70), S2 [0.70, 0.90), 
# and S1 [0.90, 1]. It should be emphasized that the 
# `interval` argument cannot be set to `unbias` as in 
# the case of the `interval` argument of the `suit` 
# function. This follows from the fact that the 
# `overall_suit` function does not use a membership 
# function for computing the score, but an aggregation function.

# Other examples
library(ALUES)
out <- suit("ricebr", terrain=MarinduqueLT, 
water=MarinduqueWater, temp=MarinduqueTemp, sow_month=1)
lapply(out[["terrain"]], function(x) head(x))
lapply(out[["water"]], function(x) head(x))

# Soil Overall Suitability
head(overall_suit(out[["soil"]]))
head(overall_suit(out[["soil"]], "average"))
head(overall_suit(out[["soil"]], "maximum"))
head(overall_suit(out[["soil"]], "average", c(0, 0.3, 0.35, 0.6, 1.0)))

# Water Overall Suitability
head(overall_suit(out[["water"]], "average"))
head(overall_suit(out[["water"]], "maximum"))
head(overall_suit(out[["water"]], "average", c(0, 0.3, 0.35, 0.6, 1.0)))

# Temperature Overall Suitability
head(overall_suit(out[["temp"]], "average"))
head(overall_suit(out[["temp"]], "maximum"))
head(overall_suit(out[["temp"]], "average", c(0, 0.3, 0.35, 0.6, 1.0)))

Suitability Scores/Class of the Land Units

Description

This function calculates the suitability scores and class of the land units.

Usage

suit(
  crop,
  terrain = NULL,
  water = NULL,
  temp = NULL,
  mf = "triangular",
  sow_month = NULL,
  minimum = NULL,
  maximum = "average",
  interval = NULL,
  sigma = NULL
)

Arguments

crop

a string for the name of the crop;

terrain

a data frame for the terrain characteristics of the input land units;

water

a data frame for the water characteristics of the input land units;

temp

a data frame for the temperature characteristics of the input land units;

mf

membership function with default assigned to "triangular" fuzzy model. Other fuzzy models included are "trapezoidal" and "gaussian".

sow_month

sowing month of the crop. Takes integers from 1 to 12 (inclusive), representing the twelve months of the year. So if sets to 1, the function assumes sowing month to be January.

minimum

factor's minimum value. If NULL (default), minimum is set to 0. But if numeric of length one, say 0.5, then minimum is set to 0.5, for all factors. To set multiple minimums for multiple factors, simply concatenate these into a numeric vector, the length of this vector should be equal to the number of factors in input land units parameters. However, it can also be set to "average", please refer to the online documentation for more, link in the "See Also" section below.

maximum

maximum value for factors. To set multiple maximums for multiple factors, simply concatenate these into a numeric vector, the length of this vector should be equal to the number of factors in input land units parameters. However, it can also be set to "average", please refer to the online documentation for more, link in the "See Also" section below.

interval

domains for every suitability class (S1, S2, S3). If fixed (NULL), the interval would be 0 to 25% for N (Not Suitable), 25% to 50% for S3 (Marginally Suitable), 50% to 75% for S2 (Moderately Suitable), and 75% to 100% for (Highly Suitable). If "unbias", the package will take into account the shape of the membership function, and provide the appropriate suitability class intervals. However, it can also be customized by specifying the limits of the suitability classes. Please refer to the online documentation for more, link in the "See Also" section below.

sigma

If mf = "gaussian", then sigma represents the constant sigma in the Gaussian formula.

Value

A list of outputs of target characteristics, with the following components:

  • "terrain" - a list of outputs for terrain characteristics

  • "soil" - a list of outputs for soil characteristics

  • "water" - a list of outputs for water characteristics

  • "temp" - a list of outputs for temperature characteristics

These components are only available when specified as the target characteristics in either of the arguments above, that is, if terrain argument is specified above, then the "terrain" and "soil" components will be available in the output list. This is also true if water and temp are specified in the arguments above.

Each of the components returned above contains a list of outputs as well with the following components:

  • "Factors Evaluated" - a character of factors that matched between the input land units factor and the targetted crop requirement factor

  • "Suitability Score" - a data frame of suitability scores for each of the matched factors

  • "Suitability Class" - a data frame of suitability classes for each of the matched factors

  • "Factors' Minimum Values" - a numeric of minimum values used in the membership function for computing the suitability scores

  • "Factors' Minimum Values" - a numeric of maximum values used in the membership function for computing the suitability scores

  • "Factors' Weights" - a numeric of weights of the factors specified in the input crop requirements

  • "Crop Evaluated" - a character of the name of the targetted crop requirement dataset

Examples

library(ALUES)
banana_suit <- suit("banana", terrain=MarinduqueLT)
names(banana_suit)

# The warning above simply tells the user that one of the factor, 
# CECc, in the target crop requirement, has parameter intervals for 
# all suitability classes equal to 16, and the package used this value 
# as the maximum constant for computing the suitability scores. For more,
# please refer to the **Article 2: Methodology used in ALUES** of the documentation.
# The `suit` function returns a list of output of target 
# characteristics, in this case `"terrain"` and `"soil"`. To access 
# the output, simply run the following:

# lapply is used to display the head of each items in the list
lapply(banana_suit[["terrain"]], function(x) head(x)) 
lapply(banana_suit[["soil"]], function(x) head(x))

# Each of these are lists, with the following names:
names(banana_suit[["soil"]])

# So that, to access the factors evaluated, simply run the following:
banana_suit[["soil"]][["Factors Evaluated"]]

## Targetting Crop
# There are 56 crops available in ALUES, and what we've illustrated 
# above is for banana only. Other crops are listed below:
d <- utils::data(package = "ALUES")
alues_data <- d$results[, "Item"]
crop_data <- regmatches(alues_data, gregexpr(paste0("^[A-Z]{2,}", 
collapse = "|"), alues_data))
crop_data <- unique(unlist(lapply(crop_data, 
function(x) substr(x, 1, nchar(x)-1))))
crop_data

# These are the names for the input string for the 
# `suit` function. For example, to target sweet potato the 
# input string is not `"sweet potato"` but rather `potatosw`. That is,
# potato_suit1 <- suit("sweet potato", terrain=MarinduqueLT)
potato_suit2 <- suit("potatosw", terrain=MarinduqueLT)

## Targetting Crop Factors
# The idea of evaluating a land unit is to match the 
# quality of the land against the standard value of the 
# target factor. Therefore, if the crop does not include 
# the factor you are targeting, then there won't be any 
# matching to be done. For example, the land units evaluated 
# above are those in Marindque, which has the following soil 
# and terrain characteristics:
head(MarinduqueLT)
# The crop that we are trying to target is banana. The `suit`
# function simply require the user to input a string name for 
# the target crop, and the function will look for the corresponding 
# crop datasets. For example, for banana these are the crop 
# requirements datasets for the four characteristics:
BANANATerrain
BANANASoil
BANANAWater
BANANATemp
# These datasets are used by the `suit` function depending 
# on the targetted characteristics of the input land units 
# (specified by the user) on the said function. So for 
# `banana_suit` object above, the target crop datasets were 
# `BANANATerrain` and `BANANASoil` since the input land unit 
# specified is `terrain=MarinduqueLT`. Further, the input land 
# unit only targetted the soil factors and not the terrain factors, 
# since none of the factors in `MarinduqueLT` matched with the 
# factors in `BANANATerrain`. That is why, accessing the output 
# for the terrain characteristics for the `banana_suit` object 
# will return the following:
banana_suit[["terrain"]]

## Targetting Multiple Characteristics
# The example above only targetted the terrain and soil 
# characteristics, but the `suit` function allows user to 
# also target water and temp simultaneously. For examples, 
# we can evaluate the land units of Lao Cai, Vietnam for all 
# three characteristics as follows for irrigated rice (`riceiw``):
riceiw_multi <- suit("riceiw", terrain=LaoCaiLT, water=LaoCaiWater, 
temp=LaoCaiTemp, sow_month=10)
names(riceiw_multi)

# It is necessary to specify the sowing month when specifying 
# the water and temperature characteristics of the input land 
# units. In this case, we are saying that the first sowing 
# month for both water and temperature characteristics 
# correspond to October (*See* Article 6 for more on this). 
# No factors were targetted by input land unit for banana for
# terrain, water and temperature characteristics.
lapply(riceiw_multi[["terrain"]], function(x) head(x))
lapply(riceiw_multi[["soil"]], function(x) head(x))
lapply(riceiw_multi[["water"]], function(x) head(x))
lapply(riceiw_multi[["temp"]], function(x) head(x))

# Only the head (first six) of the output of the items are shown.

## Membership Function
# There are three membership functions (MFs) available in 
# the `suit` function, namely *triangular*, *trapezoidal* 
# and *Gaussian*. For example, the following computes the 
# suitability scores and classes using trapezoidal MF.
banana_suit <- suit("banana", terrain=MarinduqueLT, mf="trapezoidal")
head(banana_suit[["soil"]][["Suitability Score"]])
head(banana_suit[["soil"]][["Suitability Class"]])

## Intervals
# Another option available in the `suit` function is the 
# `interval`. By default, ALUES uses an equally spaced 
# suitability class intervals for deriving the suitability 
# class. That is, for N [0, 0.25), S3 [0.25, 0.50), 
# S2 [0.50, 0.75), and S1 [0.75, 1].

### Custom Intervals
# Users can modify the default equally spaced intervals, for example:
banana_suit <- suit("banana", terrain=MarinduqueLT, 
mf="trapezoidal", interval=c(0, 0.3, 0.6, 0.9, 1))
head(banana_suit[["soil"]][["Suitability Score"]])
head(banana_suit[["soil"]][["Suitability Class"]])
# The above code sets the new suitability class intervals 
# into: N [0, 0.3), S3 [0.3, 0.6), S2 [0.6, 0.9), and S1 [0.9, 1].

### Unbias Intervals
# The problem with the fixed interval is that the said 
# intervals does not take into account the shape of the 
# membership function and the spacing of the parameter 
# interval limits (*See* Article 2 for parameter intervals). 
# Custom intervals might be able to capture this if the user 
# computed the interval limits manually, but ALUES provides 
# an option just for this, by setting `interval="unbias"`. 
# That is,
banana_suit <- suit("banana", terrain=MarinduqueLT, 
mf="trapezoidal", interval="unbias")
head(banana_suit[["soil"]][["Suitability Score"]])
head(banana_suit[["soil"]][["Suitability Class"]])
# By setting the `interval="unbias"`, the `suit` 
# function will generate a different likely unequally 
# spaced suitability class intervals, but the interval 
# limits are mathematically correct, in terms of the mapping
# of the parameter interval limits to suitability class limits 
# via the membership function.

## Maximum and Minimum
# Another parameter that can be set for `suit` are the 
# `minimum` and `maximum`. These are the constants used 
# by the membership function for computing the suitability 
# score.
banana_suit <- suit("banana", terrain=MarinduqueLT, 
mf="trapezoidal", interval="unbias")
banana_suit[["soil"]][["Factors Evaluated"]]

# From the above result, there are four factors targetted
# by the input land unit, these are CFragm, CECc, pHH2O and 
# SoilTe. Suppose we know the maximum value that these factors 
# can take, say 60 for CFragm, 20 for CECc, 9 for pHH2O, and 10
# for SoilTe. We can specify these as follows:
banana_suit <- suit("banana", terrain=MarinduqueLT, mf="trapezoidal",
interval="unbias", maximum=c(60, 20, 9, 10))
banana_suit
# The result gave us an error. We understand the error 
# for terrain characteristics, but for soil it says that
# the argument `maximum` must be equal in length with the
# target factors specified in the input land unit datasets.
# We know that there should be 4 factors, but upon checking, 
# we see that the `MarinduqueLT` also have Lon and Lat columns,
# which ALUES assumes to be a target factor as well. Indeed, we 
# need to exclude these columns (those that are not the target 
# factors, rather spatial variables) when specifying `minimum` 
# or `maximum` constants. Thus, it should be:
MarinduqueLT2 <- MarinduqueLT[, 3:ncol(MarinduqueLT)]
banana_suit <- suit("banana", terrain=MarinduqueLT2, 
mf="trapezoidal", interval="unbias", maximum=c(60, 20, 9, 10))
head(banana_suit[["soil"]][["Suitability Score"]])
head(banana_suit[["soil"]][["Suitability Class"]])

## Sigma of Gaussian
# The `sigma` argument is used to specify the scale of the 
# Gaussian membership function. That is, it is only 
# applicable for `mf="gaussian"`.

# Other examples

Suitability Scores/Class of the Land Units

Description

This function calculates the suitability scores and class of the land units.

Usage

suitability(
  x,
  y,
  mf = "triangular",
  sow_month = NULL,
  minimum = NULL,
  maximum = "average",
  interval = NULL,
  sigma = NULL
)

Arguments

x

a data frame consisting the properties of the land units;

y

a data frame consisting the requirements of a given characteristics (terrain, soil, water and temperature) for a given crop (e.g. coconut, cassava, etc.);

mf

membership function with default assigned to "triangular" fuzzy model. Other fuzzy models included are "trapezoidal" and "gaussian".

sow_month

sowing month of the crop. Takes integers from 1 to 12 (inclusive), representing the twelve months of the year. So if sets to 1, the function assumes sowing month to be January.

minimum

factor's minimum value. If NULL (default), minimum is set to 0. But if numeric of length one, say 0.5, then minimum is set to 0.5, for all factors. To set multiple minimums for multiple factors, simply concatenate these into a numeric vector, the length of this vector should be equal to the number of factors in input land units parameters. However, it can also be set to "average", please refer to the online documentation for more, link in the "See Also" section below.

maximum

maximum value for factors. To set multiple maximums for multiple factors, simply concatenate these into a numeric vector, the length of this vector should be equal to the number of factors in input land units parameters. However, it can also be set to "average", please refer to the online documentation for more, link in the "See Also" section below.

interval

domains for every suitability class (S1, S2, S3). If fixed (NULL), the interval would be 0 to 25% for N (Not Suitable), 25% to 50% for S3 (Marginally Suitable), 50% to 75% for S2 (Moderately Suitable), and 75% to 100% for (Highly Suitable). If "unbias", the package will take into account the shape of the membership function, and provide the appropriate suitability class intervals. However, it can also be customized by specifying the limits of the suitability classes. Please refer to the online documentation for more, link in the "See Also" section below.

sigma

If mf = "gaussian", then sigma represents the constant sigma in the Gaussian formula.

Value

A list with the following components:

  • "Factors Evaluated" - a character of factors that matched between the input land units factor and the targetted crop requirement factor

  • "Suitability Score" - a data frame of suitability scores for each of the matched factors

  • "Suitability Class" - a data frame of suitability classes for each of the matched factors

  • "Factors' Minimum Values" - a numeric of minimum values used in the membership function for computing the suitability scores

  • "Factors' Minimum Values" - a numeric of maximum values used in the membership function for computing the suitability scores

  • "Factors' Weights" - a numeric of weights of the factors specified in the input crop requirements

  • "Crop Evaluated" - a character of the name of the targetted crop requirement dataset
