ls_create: Create landscapes of ecosystem service supply (ecological)...

In sLandserve/sLandserv: sLandserv Workshop Functions

Create landscapes of ecosystem service supply (ecological) and demand (social) patches

Description

'ls_create' simulates ecosystem service supply and demand landscapes based on a number of parameters: proportion of supply/demand; fragmentation of supply/demand; steepness of supply gradient; interspersion of supply/demand

Usage

ls_create(nrow, ncol, p_supply, p_demand, f_supply, f_demand, grad, inter)

Arguments

nrow	Number of rows in the raster
ncol	Number of columns in the raster
p_supply	Proportion of the landscape which is ES supply
p_demand	Proportion of the landscape which is ES demand
f_supply	Fragmentation level of the ES supply (in the range [0, 1] with 1 being the most fragmented)
f_demand	Fragmentation level of the ES demand (in the range [0, 1] with 1 being the most fragmented)
grad	Steepness of spatial gradient for supply and demand (in the range [0, 1] with 1 being the steepest gradient)
inter	Interpersion between ES supply and demand along the spatial gradient (in the range [0, 1] with 1 being most interspersed)

Value

A list containing a polygon containing the supply patches, a polygon containing the demand patches, and the parameters used to generate them
