do.competition: Implement seed competition

Description Usage Arguments

Description

Idea is that seeds will compete for microsites. Currently three types of competition possible: 0 = no competition, 1 = within-species K (excess seeds die), 2 = deterministic multi-species K (seeds are assigned to microsites proportional to the number of seeds of each species), and 3 = stochastic multi-species K (seeds are assigned to microsites via a lottery approach, where each seed has a chance to occupy a microsite. NOTE: Seeds already in the seedbank occupy microsites, juveniles and adults do not. WARNING: My implementation of this may be computationally intensive for large numbers of seeds!

do.competition(competitiontype, microsites.vec, nt1a.lst, spe, ISeedBank,
  ISeedlings, p)

Arguments

competitiontype

The type of competition (see description)

microsites.vec

A vector giving the number of microsites in each cell.

nt1a.lst

A list giving the abundances of each of the four stages for each species

spe

The number of species in the regional species pool

ISeedBank

An index for which entries for each species in nt1a.lst correspond to stage 1 individuals.

ISeedlings

An index for which entries for each species in nt1a.lst correspond to stage 0 individuals.

p

Number of cells in the landscape
