sp.vals: Species Values Input
In akeyel/spatialdemography: A Spatially Explicit Metacommunity Model

Description Details

Input species file for calculate traits

biomass.seed Biomass of the species' seed (= seed mass). Used in thinning & reproductive trade-off
biomass.adult Biomass of the adult. Used in thinning law
biomass.clone Biomass of clones produced. Used in thinning law & reproductive trade-off
g The proportion of reproductive effort allocated to producing clones
seed.disp.ratio The proportion of seeds dispersing to other cells in the landscape
w The proportion of seeds germinating at each time step
seed.mortality The proportion of seeds that die
adult.longevity The proportion of adults that survive each time step
Ss Stochastic seedling survival #DD# needs more documentation
k2 A parameter for the Weibull function that determines reproductive allocation
fertility A multiplier that determines how many seeds/clones are produced for a given reproductive allocation
sp.out.file The path and file where the new species file will be written (or of an existing file to be appended to)
do.append Whether to create a new file (F) or to append to an existing file (T)
n.seeds.o An option to override seed production (independent of the trade-off). Both n.seeds.o and n.clones.o must be non-null to do the override.
n.clones.o An ooption to override clone production. Both this and n.seeds.o must be non-null to override the trade-offs.
d12.o An option to override the thinning portion of the seed -> juvenile transition rate. All d**.o must be non-null for the override to take place.
d23.o An option to override the thinning portion of the juvenile -> adult transition rate. All d**.o must be non-null for the override to take place.
dc2.o An option to override the thinning portion of the clone -> juvenile transition rate. All d**.o must be non-null for the override to take place.
