getMR: Get mortality rates from a LIM.

In dswdejonge/fwstability: Infer Food-Web Stability

Get mortality rates from a LIM.

Description

This function calculates the mortality rates (per unit time) of all organisms from a LIM.

Usage

getMR(BM, web, vars, mTag = NULL, verbose = TRUE)

Arguments

BM	(required) A named numeric vector containing biomasses of all LIM components.
web	(required) A named numeric vector with the flow solutions.
vars	(required) A named numeric vector with the LIM variables.
mTag	(optional) Tag assigned to the flows or variables containing the natural, i.e. non-predatory, mortality. Default is set to "mort". Not case sensitive.
verbose	(optional) Should the function provide messages?

Details

In order for this function to work, the LIM must be set-up in a specific way. The flows or variables representing total natural mortality of an organism must be named as: "compartmentTag" or "tagCompartment" (not case sensitive). For more information on setting up the LIM, please review the vignette.

Value

Returns a named vector with mortality rates (per unit time).
