MF1_single: multifunctionality measures for a single ecosystem

Description

MF1_single computes multifunctionality measures of orders q = 0, 1 and 2 for given function weights in a single ecosystem separately for two cases (i) correlations between functions are not corrected for, and (ii) correlations between functions are corrected for. Species diversity of orders q = 0, 1, and 2 will also be computed if species abundance data are provided.

Usage

MF1_single(func_data, species_data = NULL, weight = 1, q = c(0, 1, 2))

Value

a data.frame with columns "plotID", "Type" (corr_uncorrected or corr_corrected), "Order.q" and "qMF" (multifunctionality of order q). When species_data is not NULL, the data.frame will include an additional column "Species.diversity" in the last column.

Arguments

func_data

ecosystem function data should be input as a data.frame (ecosystems by functions). All function values must be normalized between 0 and 1.
The row names of func_data should be set the same as the names of plotID specified in species_data if species_data is not NULL.

species_data

species abundance data should be input as a data.frame and must include three columns: "plotID", "species" and "abundance" (or any proxy such as basal area). Default is NULL.

weight

a constant number (if all weights are equal) or a numerical vector specifying weights for ecosystem functions. In the latter case, the length of weight must be equal to the number of functions. Default is weight = 1, which means equal weight and weight = 1 for all ecosystem functions.

q

a numerical vector specifying the multifunctionality and diversity orders. Default is q = 0, 1 and 2.

Examples

library(dplyr)

# \donttest{
### Use data from the entire set of 209 plots in six countries

data("forest_function_data_normalized")
data("forest_biodiversity_data")
MF1_single(func_data = forest_function_data_normalized[,6:31], weight = 1,
           species_data = forest_biodiversity_data)
# }
