Hope someone here can help me with this, or know where I can ask.
I have made a distribution model using maxent (versio 3.3.3) in R (dismo package), and thereafter made a map of limiting factors as described in the appendix of Elith et. al. (http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.2041-210X.2010.00036.x/full), using the maxent software through the windows cmd window. The instructions have worked fine, and I now have the limiting factors map in a file called lf_map.asc (ca 10 GB). In order to open the map in ArcGis, I have imported the asc-file as a raster into R, and saved it as a tif-file, using this R-script:
lf_map<- raster("//home//...//lf_map.asc")
writeRaster(lf_map,"//home//...//lf_map.tif")
When I open it in ArcGis, the different variables(factors) from the model have the names 0-4 in the map (I have 5 variables in the model), but now I don't know which variables belong to which number. I have also tried to use the ASCII to Raster (Conversion) tool in ArcGis, but the names still come out as 0 to 4, and not as the names of the variables. Does anyone know how to find out this?
Best regards
Kristin
I stumbled over the answer myself: I checked the cmd-window where I had run the script for the Limiting factors.map (it was still available, since it was in a detached screen), and now I saw that when the process was finished, the information about which number equaled which variable was printed in the cmd-window. Apparently, the variables were sorted alphabetically. 0=Aspect; 1= Mean summer temp etc.
