beta_C: Calculate beta_C

In betaCgit/betaC: Standardize beta-diversity by sample coverage

Description

Beta_C uses coverage-based rarefaction to quantify the non-random component in beta-diversity. The partitioning is done at the number of individuals that corresponds to a sample coverage of C at the gamma scale.

Usage

beta_C(x, C, extrapolation = T, interrupt = T)

Arguments

x	a site by species matrix
C	target coverage. value between 0 and 1.
extrapolation	logical. should extrapolation be used?
interrupt	logical. SHould the function throw an error when C exceeds the maximum recommendable coverage?

Value

a numeric value

Examples

library(vegan)
data(BCI)

# What is beta_C for a coverage value of 60%?
beta_C(BCI,C = 0.6)
