This repository contains simulation code as well as analytical code for statistics and figures for the research paper 'Facilitation and the evolution of trait-syndromes in the Mediterranean vegetation' by Florian D. Schneider, Simon Benateau, Marina C. Rillo. Miguel Verdú & Sonia Kéfi, currently in preparation.
The code on evolution of trait syndromes in the Mediterranean climate has been developed in the Masters Thesis of Marina Rillo at ISEM, CNRS Montpellier, supervised by Sonia Kéfi and co-supervised by Florian D Schneider and has been revised by Simon Benateau in a subsequent project.
The simulation study addresses the evolution and stable coexistence of two very different plant trait syndromes in the Mediterranean basin.
The repository contains the following code files:
The code directory contains a raw simulation code file code/full_climate_change_v4.R, which can be modified to run simulations of any parameter specification.
For running simulations, create a copy of that file in a subfolder of 'simresults', and edit the file accordingly. Pay particular attention to edit
- target directory for output
- simulation title
- target parameters
- set climate to
constantorchangescenario
The folder simresults contains raw results from the simulations as presented in the paper. Two scenarios have been simulated:
simresults\constantcontains results from a simulation under a constant climate scenario.simresults\changecontains results from a simulation under changing climate conditions
The essential functions for analysis or visualisation are placed in functions.R.
Each figure is created by a standalone code file (in code-directory). The pdf output is directed to the figures directory. Figures 2 and 4 are plotted as pixel graphics (png) because of high data density.
A snapshot of the pre-submission manuscript will be included in the manuscript directory upon acceptance of the journal.
