View source: R/ScriptFonctionsSourcesVpack.r

Description

Calculates indices of community integrity compared to a reference community according to Jaunatre et al. (2013).

Usage

1
ComStructIndices(REF, ASSESS, rar = 1)

Arguments

REF

is the reference community data matrix

ASSESS

is the assessed community data matrix

rar

(facultative) Minimum number of samples in which species have to be present to be taken into account in the calculation of indices. Default value is 1. It should not be used in the indices calculation, but it can be useful to reduce the number of species with the structure.plot() function.

Value

Comb

A combined community data matrix of reference and assessed communities

Nam_Tot

A list of species names corresponding to the Comb matrix

Nam_Tar

A list of the target species names

REF_Tab

Reference community data matrix (with zero values for species which were absent in the reference community)

ASSESS_Tab

Assessed community data matrix (with zero values for species which were absent in the assessed community)

SumMeanAbREF

Sum of mean abundances

SumAbASSESS

A list of sum of species abundance for each sample

Diff

Matrix of differences, for each species, between mean abundance in the reference samples and abundance in each assessed community samples

SumNeg

Sum of negative differences issued from Diff, i.e. sum of 'higher abundances' in each of assessed community sample

SumPos

Sum of positive differences issued from Diff, i.e. sum of 'missing abundances' in each of assessed community sample

CSII

A list of Community Integrity Index in each assessed community sample

HAI

A list of Higher Abundance Index in each of assessed community sample

CSIInorm

A list of Normalized Community Integrity Index in each assessed community sample

AbMeanREFOnly

A list of mean abundances of target species in reference samples

ASSESSTarOnly_Tab

An assessed community data matrix with target species only

HigherOnly_Tab

An assessed community data matrix with non-target species only
