Rebuild Communities from Rarefied Pieces

Description

Community is divided into given number of pieces, and randomly rarefied community is derived for each of these pieces using rrarefy. The final community is a sum of rarefied pieces. The purpose is to mimick sampling variability of the observed community. However, the process loses rare species, and generated communities have lower species richness and diversity than the original one.
