forestgap: A list of binary matrices and their associated parameters

Description

A list of binary matrices and their associated parameters

Usage

forestgap

forestgap.pars

Arguments

Format

A list of logical matrices which are the end results of simulations from Kubo's Forest Gap model along a gradient of increasing values of stress (see references).

The parameters used for the simulations, as a data frame.

Details

Kubo's forest gap model has three parameters, \(\alpha\) that controls the reproductive rate of trees, \(d\) controls the non-spatialized mortality and \(\delta\) the increased mortality due to the presence of a neighboring gap.
