Simulate Coral Colonies in a Polygon
coralsim.RdThis function simulates coral cover and colony distribution within a specified polygon. It generates species-specific ratios, predicts coral colony sizes, and uses spatial algorithms to distribute colonies without overlap.
Arguments
- input
An
sfpolygon object defining the plot area.- set_overlap
A percentage overlap setting for colonies (randomized).
- raw
Logical. If
TRUE, returns the raw data instead of spatial polygons.- seed
An optional seed value for reproducibility.
- crs
The coordinate reference system (default is EPSG:3857).
