Raw rho (low level diversity component)

Calculates the low-level diversity component necessary for calculating raw rho diversity.

raw_rho(meta)

Arguments

meta

object of class metacommunity

Value

raw_rho returns an object of class powermean

Details

Values generated from raw_rho() may be input into subdiv() and metadiv() to calculate raw subcommunity and metacommunity rho diversity.

Examples

pop <- data.frame(a = c(1,3), b = c(1,1))
row.names(pop) <- paste0("sp", 1:2)
pop <- pop/sum(pop)
meta <- metacommunity(pop)
