construct.statevariables {streambugs}

Construct the streambugs ODE state variable names

Description

Construct encoded labels of streambugs ODE state variable names from reach names, habitat names, and "taxa" names for at least one of the POM, Algae, or Invertebrates groups.

Usage

construct.statevariables(
  Reaches,
  Habitats,
  POM = NULL,
  Algae = NULL,
  Invertebrates = NULL
)

Arguments

Reaches

reach names character vector; duplicates are dropped

Habitats

habitats names character vector; duplicates are dropped

POM

optional ("taxa") character vector of POM (particulate organic matter) group; duplicates are dropped (note: at least one "taxon" name out of all groups has to be given)

Algae

optional taxa character vector of Algae group; duplicates are dropped (note: at least one taxon name out of all groups has to be given)

Invertebrates

optional taxa character vector of Invertebrates group duplicates are dropped (note: at least one taxon name out of all groups has

Value

vector with state variable names in the form of "Reach_Habitat_Taxon_Group"

Examples

Reaches           <- paste0("Reach",1:2)
Habitats          <- paste0("Hab",1:1)
y.names <- construct.statevariables(Reaches,Habitats,Invertebrates=c("Baetis","Ecdyonurus"))
