landgen: Simulate a landscape consisting of 2 patch classes (1, 2)...

In sponslerdb/floralcurves: Simulate Landscape-Scale Floral Resource Dynamics

Simulate a landscape consisting of 2 patch classes (1, 2) superimposed on a matrix (0). The area remaining as "matrix" (class 0) will naturally be area - prop1 x area + prop2 x area. Patch number (n1, n2) controls the granularity of the landscape. Note, though, that patches can become contiguous, so there may not be n discrete patches in the output.

Description

Simulate a landscape consisting of 2 patch classes (1, 2) superimposed on a matrix (0). The area remaining as "matrix" (class 0) will naturally be area - prop1 x area + prop2 x area. Patch number (n1, n2) controls the granularity of the landscape. Note, though, that patches can become contiguous, so there may not be n discrete patches in the output.

Usage

landgen(area = 10000, prop1, prop2, n1, n2)

Arguments

area	the area of the simulated landscape in m2. By default, it is set to 10,000 (100 x 100) to simulate a 1 hectare landscape at a resolution of 1 x 1 m.
prop1	proportion of total landscape covered by patch class 1
prop2	proportion of total landscape covered by patch class 2
n1	number of class1 patches
n2	number of class2 patches

Value

A raster

Examples

landgen(10000, prop1 = 0.5, prop2 = 0.25, n1 = 10, n2 = 5)
