Measuring Ecosystem Multi-Functionality and Its Decomposition
Description
Provide simple functions to (i) compute a class of
multi-functionality measures for a single ecosystem for given
function weights, (ii) decompose gamma multi-functionality
for pairs of ecosystems and K ecosystems (K can be greater than 2)
into a within-ecosystem component (alpha multi-functionality)
and an among-ecosystem component (beta multi-functionality).
In each case, the correlation between functions can be corrected for.
Based on biodiversity and ecosystem function data, this software
also facilitates graphics for assessing biodiversity-ecosystem
functioning relationships across scales.
