This function calculates the Mean Trophic Level of the community weighted by biomass for j areas and i years.
1 | meanTLCommunity(X, TL.table, metric = "BIOMASS", years)
|
X |
A dataframe of fishery independent data derived from research vessel
survey data or model output, with columns |
TL.table |
A dataframe with columns |
metric |
A character string indicating which column in |
years |
A vector of years for which to calculate indicator. |
Mean trophic level (TL):
TL = Σ (TL_i*B_i)/Σ B_i
TL_i is trophic level of species i, and B_i is the biomass of species i.
This indicator is based on trophic levels of all species with available biomass time series, weighted by annual species-specific biomass, to reflect the structure of the community (Christensen, 1998).
Returns a dataframe with 3 columns. ID
, YEAR
, and
MeanTLCommunity
.
If there is no data for spatial scale j in year i, indicator
value is assigned NA
