In cascade-wp6/socialecological: The economics of catastrophic shifts in arid rangelands.

An application of the livestock resilience model for social-ecological modelling (WP6 & WP8)

This repository explores the use of the livestock resilience model, a spatially-explicit cellular automata model, for a simulation of economic risk assessment of management methods in arid rangelands.

The repository provides

1. R-Functions for the simulation and analysis of replicated timeseries.
2. an example manual as well as the mathematical description of the model (model.pdf) and an implementation of the livestock model (livestock.r) for the use with the R package caspr as a simulation engine.
3. an interactive implementation for R Shiny. Opening the file documentation/interactive_livestockmodel.Rmd in RStudio allows you, after installation of some extra packages, to run the interactive app.

This repository is also an R package and can be installed from within R using: install.packages(c("devtools","animation")) devtools::install_github("cascade-wp6/caspr") devtools::install_github("cascade-wp6/socialecological") See the package vignette for examples.
