env.param.file: Environmental Parameters File

In akeyel/spatialdemography: A Spatially Explicit Metacommunity Model

Description

The file contains parameter entries and minimum and maximum values for each parameter. The minimum and maximum values are used for latin hypercube sampling. If a constant value is desired, minimum value should equal maximum value while min and max give minimum and maximum values to sample from. See details for a description of parameters to include.

Details

• k2 A parameter used in the Weibull function describing the relationship between adult longevity and allocation to reproduction

• seed.mortality Seed mortality

• Ss.mean Mean stochastic seedling survival (fixed across all species). Stochastic seedling survival is determined by a beta distribution (but this is not the Alpha parameter!)

• Ss.var Variation in stochastic seedling survival (fixed across all species)

• fertility.mean Mean fertility rate (fixed across all species). Fertility is determined by a log-normal distribution

• fertility.var Variation (sd) in fertility rate (fixed across all species)

• Ss.fert.cor The correlation between variation in fertility and stochastic seedling survival.
