ternStab: Plotting the relative contribution of stabilizing effects

In comstab: Partitioning the Drivers of Stability of Ecological Communities

Plotting the relative contribution of stabilizing effects

Description

ternStab() is a graph function used to represent the relative contributions of the three stabilizing effects ("Dominance", "Asynchrony" and "Averaging") on a ternary plot.

Usage

ternStab(x, ..., point = TRUE, add = FALSE)

Arguments

x	object of class 'comstab'.
...	other parameters to be passed through to plotting functions.
point	plot the community on the ternary plot (logical, defaults to TRUE)
add	add the community on the current plot window (logical, defaults to FALSE)

Value

No return value, graphical function.

Examples

require(Ternary)

# Simulates a custom community time series using 'comTS()':
z <- comTS(nsp = 10, ny = 30, even = 0.6, mvs = 1.5, sync = "0")

# Runs the partitioning of the community coefficient of variation:
x <- partitionR(z)

# Plots the relative contributions
oldpar <- par(no.readonly = TRUE)
par(mar = c(0, 0, 0, 0))
ternStab(x)

# Adds a second community on the ternary plot
z2 <- comTS(nsp = 15, ny = 30, even = .7, mvs = 1.1, sync = "1")
x2 <- partitionR(z2)
ternStab(x2, add = TRUE, col = "red")

par(oldpar)
