add_locked_in_constraints: Add locked in constraints

Description

Add constraints to a conservation planning problem to ensure that specific planning units are selected (or allocated to a specific zone) in the solution. For example, it may be desirable to lock in planning units that are inside existing protected areas so that the solution fills in the gaps in the existing reserve network. If specific planning units should be locked out of a solution, use add_locked_out_constraints(). For problems with non-binary planning unit allocations (e.g., proportions), the add_manual_locked_constraints() function can be used to lock planning unit allocations to a specific value.

Value

An updated problem() object with the constraints added to it.

Arguments

x

problem() object.

locked_in

Object that determines which planning units should be locked in. See the Data format section for more information.

Data format

The locked planning units can be specified using the following formats. Generally, the locked data should correspond to the planning units in the argument to x. To help make working with terra::rast() planning unit data easier, the locked data should correspond to cell indices in the terra::rast() data. For example, integer arguments should correspond to cell indices and logical arguments should have a value for each cell---regardless of which planning unit cells contain NA values.

data as an integer vector

containing indices that indicate which planning units should be locked for the solution. This argument is only compatible with problems that contain a single zone.

data as a logical vector

containing TRUE and/or FALSE values that indicate which planning units should be locked in the solution. This argument is only compatible with problems that contain a single zone.

data as a matrix object

containing logical TRUE and/or FALSE values which indicate if certain planning units are should be locked to a specific zone in the solution. Each row corresponds to a planning unit, each column corresponds to a zone, and each cell indicates if the planning unit should be locked to a given zone. Thus each row should only contain at most a single TRUE value.

data as a character vector

containing column name(s) that indicates if planning units should be locked for the solution. This format is only compatible if the planning units in the argument to x are a sf::sf() or data.frame object. The columns must have logical (i.e., TRUE or FALSE) values indicating if the planning unit is to be locked for the solution. For problems that contain a single zone, the argument to data must contain a single column name. Otherwise, for problems that contain multiple zones, the argument to data must contain a column name for each zone.

data as a sf::sf() object

containing geometries that will be used to lock planning units for the solution. Specifically, planning units in x that spatially intersect with y will be locked (per intersecting_units()). Note that this option is only available for problems that contain a single management zone.

data as a terra::rast() object

containing cells used to lock planning units for the solution. Specifically, planning units in x that intersect with cells that have non-zero and non-NA values are locked. For problems that contain multiple zones, the data object must contain a layer for each zone. Note that for multi-band arguments, each pixel must only contain a non-zero value in a single band. Additionally, if the cost data in x is a terra::rast() object, we recommend standardizing NA values in this dataset with the cost data. In other words, the pixels in x that have NA values should also have NA values in the locked data.
