2. rLayer
Obtain customized ecogeographic layers cropped
according to the user’s presence data /collecting
sites distribution
rLayer

3. What is the function of rLayer?

4. So, what is the use of the cropped layers?
1. To cover “my distributions” when they go beyond country boundaries but cannot be
considered global

5. So, what is the use of the cropped layers?
2. To make more efficient the tools’ processes using reduced areas, when the work frame
does not reach the entire country (specially for big countries)

6. This is the way rLayer works…

7. rLayer save the new set of layers here…

8. Complementa
Obtain coverage and complementarity analysis by
cell or protected areas networks for a given
territory
Complementa

9. Options to obtain complementarity analysis
