# Prefer the ecosystem-sorted `optimized_data` copy when configured, so that
# filtering to one ecosystem uses parquet predicate pushdown instead of loading
# the whole national map into memory. Falls back to `data`.

Filter by the Zona Pantanosa Subandina and check the number of features.

Extent of Occurrence (EOO) (subcriterion B1)

Extent of occurrence (EOO). The EOO of an ecosystem is the area (km2) of a minimum convex polygon – the smallest polygon in which no internal angle exceeds 180° that encompasses all known current spatial occurrences of the ecosystem type.

The minimum convex polygon (also known as a convex hull) must not exclude any areas, discontinuities or disjunctions, regardless of whether the ecosystem can occur in those areas or not. Regions such as oceans (for terrestrial ecosystems), land (for coastal or marine ecosystems), or areas outside the study area (such as in a different country) must remain included within the minimum convex polygon to ensure that this standardised method is comparable across ecosystem types. In addition, these features contribute to spreading risks across the distribution of the ecosystem by making different parts of its distribution more spatially independent.

Calculate EOO

Start by calculating the convex hull of the ecosystem’s distribution.

import geopandas as gpd

if has_data:
    ecosystem_geometry = ecosystem.geometry.union_all()
    gdf_ecosystem_polygons = gpd.GeoDataFrame(geometry=[ecosystem_geometry], crs=ecosystem.geometry.crs)
    hull = ecosystem_geometry.convex_hull
    gdf_hull = gpd.GeoDataFrame(geometry=[hull], crs=ecosystem.geometry.crs)

Display the ecosystem’s distribution and the convex hull.

from lonboard import Map, PolygonLayer
from rle.core.viz import smart_map

if has_data:
    eoo_hull = make_eoo(ecosystem).compute()
    display(smart_map([eoo_hull, ecosystem]))

if has_data:
    hull_ea = gdf_hull.to_crs("ESRI:54034")
    eoo = hull_ea.geometry.iloc[0].area / 1e6
    print(f'EOO is {eoo:.1f} km2')

EOO is 41449.9 km2

Then calculate the area of the convex hull polygon.

Direct calculation of EOO

EOO can also be calculated directly using …

if has_data:
    ecosystem.eoo

Verify that the area returned by calling make_eoo(ecosystem).compute().area_km2 is the same as the area of the convex hull polygon.

if has_data:
    assert ecosystem.eoo == eoo

Area of Occupancy (AOO) (subcriterion B2)

The protocol for this adjustment includes the following steps:

1. Intersect AOO grid with the ecosystem’s distribution map.
2. Calculate extent of the ecosystem type in each grid cell (area) and sum these areas to obtain the total ecosystem area (total area).
3. Arrange grid cells in ascending order based on their area (smaller first). Calculate accumulated sum of area per cell (cumulative area).
4. Calculate cumulative proportion by dividing cumulative area by total area (cumulative proportion takes values between 0 and 1)
5. Calculate AOO by counting the number of cells with a cumulative proportion greater than 0.01 (i.e. exclude cells that in combination account for up to 1% of the total mapped extent of the ecosystem type).

AOO Calculation Details

Intersect AOO grid and ecosystem map

1. Intersect AOO grid with the ecosystem’s distribution map

from pathlib import Path

if has_data:
    # Prefer a prebuilt grid cache (e.g. a gs:// URI) so the national AOO grid
    # is not recomputed during CI renders — computing it from the full national
    # ecosystem map peaks at many GB of RAM. Fall back to a local cache when no
    # prebuilt cache is configured. Build one with `pixi run build-caches`.
    cache_path = (
        source.get('aoo_grid_cache_url')
        or (Path(project_root) / '.cache' / 'aoo_grid.parquet')
    )
    aoo_grid = make_aoo_grid_cached(ecosystems, cache_path=cache_path)
    aoo_grid_filtered = aoo_grid.filter_by_ecosystem(ecosystem_code)

Visualize variations in the AOO grid.

from matplotlib.colors import LinearSegmentedColormap
from lonboard.colormap import apply_continuous_cmap
from rle.core.aoo import slugify_ecosystem_name

ecosystem_column = slugify_ecosystem_name(ecosystem_code)
if has_data:
    cmap = LinearSegmentedColormap.from_list("white_red", ["white", "red"])
    values = aoo_grid_filtered.grid_cells[ecosystem_column].values
    normalized = (values - values.min()) / (values.max() - values.min())
    colors = apply_continuous_cmap(normalized, cmap)
    display(smart_map([(aoo_grid_filtered, {"get_fill_color": colors}), ecosystem]))

Criterion B Summary

Criterion B status (spatial)

Endangered (EN) — Zona Pantanosa Subandina (Zona Pantanosa Subandina), index 84

Status reflects the spatial thresholds for EOO (B1) and AOO (B2) only. A final listing under B1/B2 additionally requires at least one of: (a) an observed or inferred continuing decline; (b) threatening processes likely to cause continuing decline within 20 years; or (c) few threat-defined locations — none of which are derived from the spatial metrics.
