Calculating species turnover

Description

Calculating species turnover based on the mean value between focus quadrat and their neighbours.

Usage

turnover(lab.mat, dist.mat, type = c("quart", "octal"))

Arguments

lab.mat	matrix of quadrat labels.
dist.mat	distance matrix between each pair of quadrats
type	"quart" indicates four neighbouring quadrats, "octal" indicate eight neighbouring quadrats.

Details

species turnover based on the mean value between centred quadrat and its neighbours.

Value

matrix with species turnover.

Examples

##example turnover()
plotlab1 <- XYname(4,6)
xxx <- 1:240
dim(xxx) <- c(24, 10)
rownames(xxx) <- plotlab1
### Distance between each pair of plots
ddd <- dist(xxx)
### label matrix
labmat1 <- lab.mat(plotlab1)
yyy <- turnover(labmat1, ddd)
