Maximum occupiable kelp area is the maximum possible area that kelp has ever occupied in the landsat area data, e.g. if a pixel showed 0.003 km2 kelp coverage once in the 40 year time series, and 0 km2 the remainder of the time, the maximum occupiable kelp area for that pixel is 0.003 km2. For an entire segment, the maximum occupiable kelp area is the sum of each of its pixel's maximum occupiable kelp area.

Usage

get_max_occupiable_area(segmented_landsat_data)

Arguments

segmented_landsat_data

A dataframe generated by segment_landsat_data() with rows for each pixel, and columns for each quarter and year of the landsat data, with the assigned segment from a given shapefile

Value

A dataframe with the maximum occupiable area for each kelp segment
