cluster.id: Classify patches in clusters

In MetaLandSim: Landscape and Range Expansion Simulation

Classify patches in clusters

Description

reclassify clusters of a landscape according to a given mean dispersal distance.

Usage

cluster.id(rl)

Arguments

rl	Object of class 'landscape'.

Details

After changing the landscape some components (groups of connected patches) might suffer changes (e.g. the removal of patches might split components). This function re-attributes a code to each patch, identifying the groups of connected patches (components), after this type of disturbance to the habitat network.Mainly to be used internally.

Value

Returns the same landscape object, with the clusters reclassified.

Examples

data(rland)

#After removing 30 (50%) of the patches of a landscape:

rland2 <- removepoints(rl=rland, nr=35)

#A reclassification might be needed to identify components: 

rland2 <- cluster.id(rl=rland2)

#After removing 35 patches, there's a different number of components:

components.graph(rl=rland) 

#21

components.graph(rl=rland2) 

#16
