The package is usefull for generating randomized community matrices under
strict range cohesion. The package can handle data where species occurence
are recorded across one or two dimentions.One dimentional data are typically
for sites ordered along a variable of interest such
as elevation or latitude.rangemod1d is used for such data. Two
dimentional data have species occurences recorded on grids with known
geographic coordinates and are handled with function rangemod2d.
Range cohesion is enforced using an 'nb' object
(generated by poly2nb
of the spdep package).
