The 2004 data set is at the scale 1:5.000.000. The original data comes from IBGE. More information at https://www.ibge.gov.br/apps/biomas/
read_biomes(year = 2019, simplified = TRUE, showProgress = TRUE)Numeric. Year of the data in YYYY format. Defaults to 2019.
Logic FALSE or TRUE, indicating whether the function
should return the data set with 'original' spatial resolution or a data set
with 'simplified' geometry. Defaults to TRUE. For spatial analysis and
statistics users should set simplified = FALSE. Borders have been
simplified by removing vertices of borders using st_simplify{sf} preserving
topology with a dTolerance of 100.
Logical. Defaults to TRUE display progress bar.
