dRdt: Compute time-derivative for resources

In flee-group/flume: A Model For Fluvial Meta-Ecosystems

Compute time-derivative for resources

Description

Compute time-derivative for resources

Usage

dRdt(t, R, params, components = FALSE)

Arguments

t	Time variable
R	A resource state matrix; stored as a vector in column major order
params	Named list; additional parameters, see 'details'

Details

The required params for the resource derivative are as follows:

• S: a site by species matrix

• Q: a site by discharge vector

• A: a site by cross-sectional area vector

• l: a site by length vector

• lQ: site by lateral input discharge

• lR: site by lateral resource concentration

• i_static: indices of static resources

• adj: the network adjacency matrix

• comm: a metacommunity()

• components: logical, optional, default FALSE

If params$components = TRUE, instead of computing the derivative the function returns the individual components, including the use by species, downstream transport, and input from upstream. The units in this case will be mass/time

Value

Normally, a site by resource matrix of resource fluxes, in units of mass * volume^-1 * time^-1
