This function creates an initial virtual landscape to run the simulations

create_virtual_landscape(climRange = c(-2.61, 5.07), cellSize = 0.8)

Arguments

climRange

vector, annual mean temperature with the respective North and South limits. Values must be between -5.3 and 12.2 to respect the parameterization boundary.

cellSize

numeric, size of the cell of the landscape in Km. Recommended cell size is between 0.3 and 5 km.

Value

a list with the (i) initial landscape, (ii) scaled temperature gradient, (iii) landscape dimensions, (iv) position and neighbor are internal objects to run the model in parallel.

Examples

initLand = create_virtual_landscape(climRange = c(-2.61, 5.07), cellSize = 4)
