Create new biomes by splitting up an existing biome

Distributes vegetation, detritus, and soil C, and initial NPP flux from an existing biome across multiple new biomes.

split_biome(
  core,
  old_biome,
  new_biomes,
  fveg_c = rep(1/length(new_biomes), length(new_biomes)),
  fdetritus_c = fveg_c,
  fsoil_c = fveg_c,
  fnpp_flux0 = fveg_c,
  ...
)

Arguments

core

Hector core

old_biome

Name of biome that will be split up

new_biomes

Names of biomes to be created

fveg_c

Fractions of vegetation C distributed to each biome in `new_biomes`. Must be the same length as `new_biomes`. Default is to split vegetation C evenly between all biomes.

fdetritus_c

Fractions of detritus C distributed to each biome. Defaults to the same value as `fveg_c`.

fsoil_c

Fractions of soil C distributed to each biome. Defaults to the same value as `fveg_c`.

fnpp_flux0

Fraction of initial NPP flux distributed to each biome. Defaults to the same value as `fveg_c`.

...

Additional biome-specific parameters, as set by [create_biome()]. Note that these are passed to [create_biome()] via [base::mapply()], so they can be vectorized across biomes.
