Calculating the metabolic footprint of nematodes (single factor)

Description

Metabolic footprints quantify the amplitude of Carbon utilisation by different food web components. The point in the middle of a rhombus represents the intersection of EI and SI and length of vertical and horizontal axes of the rhombus corresponds to the footprints of enrichment and structure components respectively.

Usage

calc_mf(data, .group)

Arguments

data	A nemindex-class object.
.group	The group variable.

Details

To facilitate code interpretation, it is recommended to use the pipe symbol |> to connect functions:

nem_fun <- nem |> calc_nemindex() |> calc_mf(con_crop)

Value

A mf-class object that stores the desired visualization results.
