EMODnet Biology thermal traits

Deriving, summarising and visualising thermal affinities for European marine species. Work supported by EMODnet biology with additional support to TJW during development of these methods provided by the UK Marine Ecosystems Research Programme.

This is the Github repository of the EMODnet Biology product described here:

http://www.emodnet-biology.eu/thermal-affinities-european-marine-species

Overview

The aim is to derive thermal affinities for all European marine species, by matching occurrence records from OBIS to gridded temperature products. These species-level thermal affinities are then used to produce assemblage-level averages on a 0.5º grid covering European seas, separately for major functional groups (e.g. benthos, zooplankton, fish). Finally these gridded assemblage-level averages are compared to current and projected future sea temperatures to identify areas of high climate vulnerability for each functional group.

Useful Shortcuts

The code below explains how the European species list is generated, how functional groups are added, and how each species occurrence is matched to tmeperature data allowing a species-level thermal affinity to be calculated. There are two useful shortcuts that avoid you having to run all of this code. First, you can directly read in the species-level temperature-matched data:

all_species_fgrps_t_matched <- read_csv("all_species_fgrps_t_matched.csv")

In this dataset, each row is a unique valid European marine species, matched to functional group, and with a range of temperature summaries caculated over all occurrence records available for this species in OBIS. After loading this dataset, you can skip straight to Assemblage-level thermal summaries and maps. Alternatively you can read in the gridded, assemblage-level data as:

t_affin_grid <- read_csv("t_affin_by_grid_fg.csv")

Here, data is summarised by 0.5º grid cell, and for each cell there are temperature summaries, by functional group, of the species present in that cell. With this dataset loaded you can progress directly to Match gridded temperature affinities to current and future temperature.

European species list

The European species list was derived on the basis of occurrence records in OBIS. Specifically, we used the checklist function in the robis package to produce a summary of all species with occurrence records since 2000 within the European region (defined by the rectangle 45ºW–70ºE, 26ºN–90ºN, see http://www.eurobis.org/geo_scope), and limiting the results to taxa identified at the species level, as follows:

eur_spp <- checklist(
  geometry = "POLYGON((-45 26,-45 90,70 90,70 26,-45 26))", year = 2000:2018,
  fields = c("species", "records", "worms_id", "obisid", "rank_name"))

This is a large query, so the results are provided here as a csv file that can be read in directly:

eur_spp <- read_csv("eur_spp.csv")
# get rid of excess column and restrict to species
eur_spp <- eur_spp %>% dplyr::select(-X1) %>%
	filter(rank_name == "Species")
# needs some grouping
eur_spp <- eur_spp %>% group_by(worms_id) %>%
	summarise(species = first(species), records = sum(records))
length(unique(eur_spp$worms_id))
#' 11184 species

A second species list was derived directly from the OBIS database by Pieter Provoost, this is for the same region but with no time limit (i.e. records from all years are considered). It was generated using the SQL query

select p.tname as scientificname, p.worms_id, rt.rank_name as rank, p.species, st.worms_id as worms_id_species, count(*)
from explore.points p
left join explore.taxon st on st.id = p.species_id
left join explore.taxon rt on rt.id = p.valid_id
where ST_Within(geom, 'POLYGON((-45 26,-45 90,70 90,70 26,-45 26))'::geography::geometry)
group by p.tname, p.worms_id, rt.rank_name, p.species, st.worms_id
order by count(*) desc

This is also available as a csv file:

eur_spp_full <- read_csv2("checklist_europe.csv")
# restrict to species or below only
eur_spp_full <- eur_spp_full %>%
  filter(!is.na(worms_id_species))
# group to species level
eur_spp_full <- eur_spp_full %>% group_by(worms_id_species) %>%
	summarise(species = first(species), records = sum(count))
length(unique(eur_spp_full$worms_id_species))
#' 26569

The two species lists are tidied up a bit and combined:

eur_spp <- eur_spp %>% rename(AphiaID = worms_id)
eur_spp_full <- eur_spp_full %>% rename(AphiaID = worms_id_species)

# check (lack of) overlap
sum(!(eur_spp$AphiaID %in% eur_spp_full$AphiaID))
#' 1 species

#' add `since2000` as variable to `eur_spp_full` to identify those species observed since 2000
eur_spp_full <- eur_spp_full %>% mutate(since2000 = AphiaID %in% eur_spp$AphiaID)
sum(eur_spp_full$since2000)
#' 11183

Adding functional groups

We then obtained functional groups for these species using attributes from WoRMS using the worrms package and a function written specifically for this purpose available from https://github.com/tomjwebb/WoRMS-functional-groups. NB - this will take up to a couple of hours to run for all species:

species_attr <- eur_spp_full %>%
  group_by(AphiaID) %>%
  do(get_worms_fgrp(AphiaID = .$AphiaID))

Count the number of species within each function group for each life stage:

count(species_attr, adult)
# adult     n
#<fctr> <int>
# 1          algae   386
# 2        benthos 16054
# 3          birds   163
# 4     epibenthos     8
# 5           fish  2539
# 6   hyperbenthos     5
# 7          macro     5
# 8     macroalgae   985
# 9   macrobenthos    38
# 10        mammals    53
# 11           meso     1
# 12         nekton   307
# 13        neuston     4
# 14 not applicable    18
# 15  phytoplankton  1489
# 16       plankton     3
# 17       reptiles    13
# 18    zooplankton  1414
# 19           <NA>  3084

Create an unknown Fg for adult species without a matched FG

species_attr$adult <- factor(species_attr$adult, levels = levels(addNA(species_attr$adult)),
  labels = c(levels(species_attr$adult), "unknown"), exclude = NULL)

Find the number of OBIS records for each functional gorup, especially unknown

# join FG data to dat with number of obis records
species_attr <- left_join(species_attr, eur_spp_full, by = "AphiaID")
# calculate summary of obis records
record_group_sum <- species_attr %>% group_by(adult) %>% summarise(min.recs = min(records),
                                                             max.recs = max(records),
                                                             mean.recs = mean(records),
                                                             total.recs = sum(records),
                                                             num.species = n())
record_sum <- species_attr %>% summarise(min.recs = min(records),
                                         max.recs = max(records),
                                         mean.recs = mean(records),
                                         total.recs = sum(records),
                                         num.species = n())

species_attr$adult[species_attr$adult == "not applicable"]<- "unknown"

Tidy up the dataset a bit

new_checklist_species_fgrps <- species_attr %>% dplyr::select(AphiaID, adult) %>%
  rename(functional_group = adult)

Subset the checklist to just include species in OBIS records - this should be all species but a few do not return OBIS records for some reason, these need to be excluded here because the temperature matching functions at present assume that all species are present in OBIS.

new_checklist_obis_test <- new_checklist_species_fgrps %>% 
  dplyr::select(AphiaID) %>% 
  arrange(AphiaID) %>% group_by(AphiaID) %>%
  do(checklist(aphiaid = .$AphiaID)) %>% summarise(records = sum(records))
# 26338 species

Add functional group data to this set of species with records available in OBIS:

new_checklist_species_fgrps <- left_join(new_checklist_obis_test, new_checklist_species_fgrps, by = "AphiaID")

Subset by functional groups to enable each to be processed separately below:

levels(new_checklist_species_fgrps$functional_group)
# "algae"          "benthos"        "birds"          "epibenthos"     "fish"           "hyperbenthos"   "macro"

Temperature Matching

Thermal affinities were derived from all European marine species using a suite of functions described and justified in full here: https://github.com/tomjwebb/marine_thermal_traits. Briefly, for each species, all global occurrences were extracted from OBIS, these were then matched in space (latitude, longitude) to a global temperature climatology (SST and SBT from Bio-ORACLE SST and SBT, obtained using the sdmpredictors package), and in space, time (month, year), and sample depth to a global gridded temperature product (Institute of Atmospheric Physics, IAP gridded temperature). Temperatures were then summarised to provide a range of thermal affinity measures for each species (including mean, min, max, 5th and 95% quantiles, for each temperature measure). The full set of functions is provided and documented elsewhere but specifically for this implementation, we processed species from each functional group in turn, and we developed a parallelised workflow to allow for more efficient application of the general functions over large species lists. This was run on a local server using the approach documented here:

# load packages for parallel processing
library(parallel)
library(multidplyr) # v0.0.0.9000

The next step is to derive gridded products for European seas. To do this, we set up a 0.5º grid, and for each cell extracted a list of species with recorded occurrences since 2000. These species were then matched to our thermal affinity database, allowing summaries of 'community thermal affinity' for each functional group in each grid cell. These summaries include, for example, mean thermal affinity for each temperature measure, across all species within a group occurring within a grid cell, weighted by the number of occurrences for each species within that cell.

# load packages (in addition to those already loaded above)
library(raster) # v2.6-7
library(mregions) # v0.1.6
library(sf) # v0.6-3

Get a sensible base map of European seas, using FAO fishing regions

fao <- mr_shp(key = "MarineRegions:fao")
# subset to those covering Europe
fao_eur <- subset(fao,
  name %in% c("Atlantic, Northeast", "Mediterranean and Black Sea"))
fao_eur <- aggregate(fao_eur, dissolve = TRUE)

# plot if required
plot(fao_eur)

Set up a raster based on EMODNet 'europe' extent (45W-70E, 26N-90N). For now set resolution = 0.5; could refine to 0.1 if needed

eur_r <- raster(extent(c(-45, 70, 26, 90)),
  resolution = 0.5, crs = crs("+proj=longlat +datum=WGS84"))
# need to fill with values, but these are arbitrary
values(eur_r) <- 0

Mask to fao areas and convert to spatial polygons

eur_r_mask <- mask(eur_r, fao_eur)
eur_sp_poly <- rasterToPolygons(eur_r_mask)
nrow(eur_sp_poly)
# 14777 grid squares

Function to get lon and lat of SW corner of each cell

get_extent <- function(x){
  cbind(extent(x)[c(1, 3)])
}
i <- 1:nrow(eur_sp_poly)
lat_lon <- as_tibble(t(sapply(i, function(i){get_extent(eur_sp_poly[i,])}))) %>%
  rename(lon = V1, lat = V2)

Convert to sf to allow more efficient working

eur_sf <- st_as_sf(eur_sp_poly)
# add lon and lat
eur_sf <- bind_cols(eur_sf, lat_lon)
# add rownames as a cell ID variable
eur_sf <- eur_sf %>% rownames_to_column %>%
  rename(cell_id = rowname)
# tidy up by removing 'layer'
eur_sf <- eur_sf %>% dplyr::select(-layer)

Get obis checklist for a cell - records since 2000

cell_checklist <- checklist(
  geometry = st_as_text(eur_sf$geometry[12000]),
  year = 2000:2018,
  fields = c("species", "records", "worms_id", "rank_name")) %>%
  filter(rank_name == "Species")

Now add back in the species-level thermal affinities - either using the object created above (renamed here for convenience):

spp_t_matched <- all_species_fgrps_t_matched

Or you can read in this file directly from the csv provided here:

spp_t_matched <- read_csv("all_species_fgrps_t_matched.csv")

Then check functional groups, combine some (e.g. all sub-categories of benthos -> benthos), and filter out species with no functional group information, or poorly specified functional group:

spp_t_matched %>% group_by(functional_group) %>% count()

# combine benthic functional groups, and filter to remove unknown or poorly-specified groups:
spp_t_matched <- spp_t_matched %>%
  mutate(fg = case_when(
    functional_group %in% c("benthos", "epibenthos", "macrobenthos", "hyperbenthos") ~ "benthos",
    functional_group %in% c("macro", "meso", "neuston", "unknown", "plankton") ~ "NA",
    TRUE ~ functional_group
    )) %>%
  filter(fg != "NA")

Now you can get the average temperature affinity of any given grid square, separately for the different functional groups, using the get_cell_t_affin function in the R folder. For cells with no species in this returns an empty tibble, e.g.:

# empty example:
get_cell_t_affin(cell_geom = slice(eur_sf, 1)$geometry,
  c_id = 1, t_dat = spp_t_matched)

For cells with species from one or more functional groups, you get a tibble with a row for each functional group, which contains some summary information (cell_id to identify the grid square, functional group as fg, the number of species of that group within the cell n_sp, the total number of OBIS records in the cell for that group n_rec, and then a range of assemblage-level temperature affinity summaries. For a working example:

# working example:
get_cell_t_affin(cell_geom = slice(eur_sf, 12000)$geometry,
  c_id = 12000, t_dat = spp_t_matched)

This can be run over multiple grid cells like this:

# test over a few cells
test_cell_affins <- sample_n(eur_sf, 10) %>% group_by(cell_id) %>%
  do(get_cell_t_affin(cell_geom = .$geometry, c_id = .$cell_id))

To run over all the grid cells in our European data takes approx 30-45 mins to run:

t_affin_grid <- eur_sf %>% group_by(cell_id) %>%
  do(get_cell_t_affin(cell_geom = .$geometry, c_id = .$cell_id))

Alternatively you can read in the ouput directly as a csv provided here:

t_affin_grid <- read_csv("t_affin_by_grid_fg.csv")

Tidy up and summarise a bit, to give number and proportion of grid cells each functional group occurs in, as well as median and maximum number of species and occurrence records per cell:

t_affin_grid %>% ungroup %>% group_by(fg) %>% summarise(
  n_cell = n(), p_cell = round(n()/14777, 2),
  med_n_sp = median(n_sp), max_n_sp = max(n_sp),
  med_n_rec = median(n_rec), max_n_rec = max(n_rec)
)

Match gridded temperature affinities to current and future temperature

The next step is to compare the gridded, functional group-level temperature affinities to current and projected future temperature. To do this we use sdmpredictors to access current and future temperature data from Bio-ORACLE. First, load sdmpredictors and download required temperature layers to a sensible directory (here, a folder called biooracle is created within your current working directory):

library(sdmpredictors) # v0.2.6
# set path to store layers
bo_path <- paste0(file.path(getwd()), "/biooracle")
# create directory if needed
if(!dir.exists(file.path(bo_path))){
  dir.create(path = file.path(bo_path),
    recursive = FALSE, showWarnings = FALSE)}

The temperature layers downloaded here are mean and max SST and SBT, both current and future scenarios - here the only future scenario downloaded is RCP8.5, for 2050, but other RCP scenarios can be loaded in the same way, as can projections to 2100:

bo_t_dat <- load_layers(layercodes = c(
  "BO_sstmean", "BO_sstmax",
  "BO2_RCP85_2050_tempmean_ss", "BO2_RCP85_2050_tempmax_ss",
  "BO2_tempmean_bdmean", "BO2_tempmax_bdmean",
  "BO2_RCP85_2050_tempmean_bdmean", "BO2_RCP85_2050_tempmax_bdmean"
  ),
  equalarea = FALSE, datadir = "biooracle")

These layers are then restricted to Europe and resampled to 0.5 degrees:

eur_bo_t <- raster::resample(bo_t_dat, eur_r, method = "bilinear")

These can be plotted if desired:

plot(eur_bo_t, col = RColorBrewer::brewer.pal(9, "Reds"))

The next step is to populate eur_sf with this temperature data. This requires getting the lon and lat of each gridsquare, which is done by adding a small amount to the SW corner coordinates to ensure the point is within the correct square, then extracting the relevant value from the temperature rasters for each grid cell, and finally adding these back into eur_sf:

points <- eur_sf %>% st_set_geometry(NULL) %>% dplyr::select(lon, lat) %>%
  mutate(lon = lon + 0.01, lat = lat + 0.01)
points <- SpatialPoints(points, lonlatproj)

bo_sst <- raster::extract(eur_bo_t[[1]], points)
bo_sst_max <- raster::extract(eur_bo_t[[2]], points)
bo_sst_rcp85_2050 <- raster::extract(eur_bo_t[[3]], points)
bo_sst_max_rcp85_2050 <- raster::extract(eur_bo_t[[4]], points)
bo_sbt <- raster::extract(eur_bo_t[[5]], points)
bo_sbt_max <- raster::extract(eur_bo_t[[6]], points)
bo_sbt_rcp85_2050 <- raster::extract(eur_bo_t[[7]], points)
bo_sbt_max_rcp85_2050 <- raster::extract(eur_bo_t[[8]], points)

eur_sf <- eur_sf %>% bind_cols(
  bo_sst = bo_sst,
  bo_sst_max = bo_sst_max,
  bo_sst_rcp85_2050 = bo_sst_rcp85_2050,
  bo_sst_max_rcp85_2050 = bo_sst_max_rcp85_2050,
  bo_sbt = bo_sbt,
  bo_sbt_max = bo_sbt_max,
  bo_sbt_rcp85_2050 = bo_sbt_rcp85_2050,
  bo_sbt_max_rcp85_2050 = bo_sbt_max_rcp85_2050)

Creating maps

Creating the maps requires loading a couple more packages:

library(viridis) # v0.5.1
library(maps) # v3.3.0

You can also create the European base map here (the plotting function will do this if not, but it may be quicker just to create it once rather than with each plot):

eur_dat <- map_data("world") %>% filter(
  long >= -45 & long <= 70 & lat >= 26 & lat <= 90)

You can then create maps using the do_gridded_t_affin_plot function provided in the R folder here. This allows you to plot a single variable for a specified functional group - for instance to map the temperature affinity of benthos, derived using mean sea bottom temperature:

do_gridded_t_affin_plot(fgrp = "benthos", tvar = "bo_sbt_mean", mapdat = eur_dat)

Any combination of functional group and temperature variable available in t_affin_grid can be entered into the function. In addition, you can map the difference between functional group-level temperature affinity and one of the environmental temperature layers obtained from Bio-ORACLE. For instance to plot the difference between mean zooplankton thermal affinity based on mean SST, and expected max SST in 2050 under RCP 8.5:

do_gridded_t_affin_plot(fgrp = "zooplankton", tvar = c("bo_sst_mean", "bo_sst_max_rcp85_2050"),
  mapdat = eur_dat)

You can also do some basic QC by plotting, for instance, number of species per grid square for a given group, to see if extreme temperature affinity values can be explained by a lack of data. For instance for phytoplankton:

do_gridded_t_affin_plot(fgrp = "phytoplankton", tvar = "n_sp", mapdat = eur_dat)

This shows low phytoplankton richness throughout most of the region, so assemblage-level thermal affinities should be viewed with caution as in most places they will be driven by few species.
