Description

Note: Before the calculation, species (rows) with only zero occurrences are removed from m.

Usage

1
C_forbes(m, clean = TRUE)

Arguments

m

Community data matrix with species as rows and sites as columns. Can contain either incidences (1/0) or abundances (natural numbers).

clean

Logical. Do you want to remove zero-sum rows or columns? When the index needs the "d" fraction (sites where no species occurs), only zero-sum rows are removed.

Value

A dist object with the pairwise association values.
