construct.statevariables: Construct the streambugs ODE state variable names

In streambugs: Parametric Ordinary Differential Equations Model of Growth, Death, and Respiration of Macroinvertebrate and Algae Taxa

Construct the streambugs ODE state variable names

Description

Construct encoded labels of streambugs ODE state variable names from reach names, habitat names, and "taxa" names for at least one of the POM, Algae, or Invertebrates groups.

Usage

construct.statevariables(
  Reaches,
  Habitats,
  POM = NULL,
  Algae = NULL,
  Invertebrates = NULL
)

Arguments

Reaches	reach names character vector; duplicates are dropped
Habitats	habitats names character vector; duplicates are dropped
POM	optional ("taxa") character vector of POM (particulate organic matter) group; duplicates are dropped (note: at least one "taxon" name out of all groups has to be given)
Algae	optional taxa character vector of Algae group; duplicates are dropped (note: at least one taxon name out of all groups has to be given)
Invertebrates	optional taxa character vector of Invertebrates group duplicates are dropped (note: at least one taxon name out of all groups has

Value

vector with state variable names in the form of "Reach_Habitat_Taxon_Group"

Examples

Reaches           <- paste0("Reach",1:2)
Habitats          <- paste0("Hab",1:1)
y.names <- construct.statevariables(Reaches,Habitats,Invertebrates=c("Baetis","Ecdyonurus"))
