MetacommunityDynamics.jl

MetacommunityDynamics.jl is a package for simulation of ecosystem processes, specifically population and community dynamics on spatial graphs, written in the Julia language.

Info

Note that MetacommunityDynamics.jl is still under development, and although the API is not expected to change a ton, we still do not yet guarantee it will remain constant until the first v1.0 production release.

Installation

If you need to install Julia, you can do so using the juliaup installation manager with instructions found here.

From within Julia, you can install the release with

using Pkg
Pkg.add("MetacommunityDynamics")

Or from the REPL Pkg mode, you can use

pkg> add MetacommunityDynamics

Background and Motivation

• so this should justify the major elements that must be includeable in simulation

Documentation Structure

This documentation is structured loosely using the Diátaxis format, which separates documentation into four forms:

1. Tutorials (a learning-oriented guided exploration of the software)

2. How-to Guides (a goal-oriented set of directions to accomplish something specific)

3. Reference (information-oriented "techinical descriptions of the machinery")

4. Explanation (understanding-oriented discussions on the software design)
