Plot TROLL simulation or stack

autoplot() is a method that takes advantage of ggplot2 to plot TROLL simulations. autoplot() can plot either temporal trajectories of whole ecosystem or species metrics (what = 'temporal'), the initial or final pattern observed in the forest community (what = 'spatial' or what = 'distribution'), or lidar outputs (what = 'lidar'). Metrics includes abundances of individuals above 1cm (N), above 10cm (N10), and above 30cm (N30), aboveground biomass (AGB), basal area of individuals above 1cm (BA), and above 10cm (BA10), gross primary production (GPP), net primary production (NPP), respiration of day (Rday), night (Rnight) and stem (Rstem), and litterfall.

# S4 method for class 'trollsim'
autoplot(
  object,
  what = "temporal",
  variables = NULL,
  species = NULL,
  iter = NULL
)

Arguments

object

TROLL simulation or stack (see troll(), stack(), trollsim() and trollstack()).

what

char. What to plot: "temporal", "spatial" "distribution", or "lidar". "temporal" is for temporal trajectories of the whole ecosystem or defined species. "spatial" is for spatial patterns in the initial or final forest. "distribution" is for metrics distribution in the initial or final forest. "lidar" is for canopy height model plot.

variables

char. Which variable(s) to plot. Only one variable is accepted when plotting "spatial".

species

char. Which species to plot. NULL indicates the whole ecosystem level. "all" can be used to use all species.

iter

char. Which iteration(s) to plot, for temporal thinning or to specify which forest to plot. "initial" or "final" can be used. NULL is converted to "final".

Value

A ggplot2 object.
