In sLandserve/sLandserv: sLandserv Workshop Functions

Calculate ecosystem service benefit from a network

Description

'calculate_benefit' Calculates the ecosystem services benefits from a given network and a given set of rules.

Usage

calculate_benefit(
  ee_network,
  es_network,
  rival,
  alpha,
  beta,
  gamma,
  params = NULL,
  lambda = 1,
  phi = 1
)

Arguments

ee_network	Ecological-ecological network from which to calculate supply (created using 'create_ee_network')
es_network	Social-ecological network from which to calculate benefit (created using 'create_es_network')
rival	Whether the services are rival (TRUE) or non-rival (FALSE)
alpha	The rate of production of the potential ecosystem service per unit area at supply nodes (value > 0)
beta	The influence of connected supply nodes (i.e., the ecological-ecological links) on the rate of production of the potential ecosystem service at supply nodes (value > 0)
gamma	Marginal utility of the service at zero service used
params	Vector containing the parameters used to generate the landscape if landscape is simulated (default = NULL)

Value

A vector containing the ecosystem service benefit and the parameters used to generate the network
