makeEcoregionDT: Make the 'ecoregion' table

In PredictiveEcology/LandR: Landscape Ecosystem Modelling in R

Make the ecoregion table

Description

This function creates a table containing pixel-wise ecoregion codes and whether they are "active" (have biomass > 0) or not for simulation. Unlike ecoregionProducer, this function creates the ecoregion table from pixel information contained in pixelCohortData

Usage

makeEcoregionDT(pixelCohortData, speciesEcoregion)

Arguments

pixelCohortData

The full cohortData data.table

speciesEcoregion

A data.table with species-ecoregion-specific species trait values. Ecoregion refers to "ecolocation", a categorical variable grouping sites with similar biophysical characteristics. The table should have at least the following columns: speciesCode and ecoregionGroup, character representation of species and ecoregion groups respectively, maxB the maximum biomass for the species in a given 'ecoregion', maxANPP the maximum aboveground net primary productivity and SEP the species establishment probability. May contain columns inflationFactor (used to adjust maxB) and mANPPproportion (used to calculate maxANPP).

Value

A data.table with ecoregion codes and their active status per pixelID.
