Ecological Trajectory Analysis
Description
Assists ecologists in the analysis of temporal changes of
ecosystems, defined as trajectories on a chosen multivariate space, by providing a set of
trajectory metrics and visual representations [De Caceres et al. (2019) ;
and Sturbois et al. (2021) ]. Includes functions
to estimate metrics for individual trajectories (length, directionality, angles, ...) as well as
metrics to relate pairs of trajectories (dissimilarity and convergence). Functions are also
provided to estimate the ecological quality of ecosystem with respect to reference conditions
[Sturbois et al. (2023) ].
