Patcher Continuous State

Description

Generate new patches of a certain class or category.

Inputs

Name	Type	Description
Continuous Landscape	Map Type	Map of stocks. Each cell represent the amount of stock stored (in units per hectare).
Probabilities	Map Type	Map of spatial probabilities.
Quota	Real Value Type	Accumulation quota (in units).
Mean	Real Value Type	Patch mean (in hectares).
Variance	Real Value Type	Patch variance (in hectares).
Isometry	Real Value Type	Patch isometry.

Optional Inputs

Name	Type	Description	Default Value
Neighbor Window Lines	Positive Integer Value Type	Number of lines of the neighborhood search window.	3
Neighbor Window Columns	Positive Integer Value Type	Number of lines of the neighborhood search window.	3
Prune Factor	Real Value Type	A multiple of the quantity of cells to be changed. This is used in order to specify the size of the vector where cells are ranked for subsequent draw. Prune factor multiplies the expected number of cells to be changed to set the quantity of possible cells, based on their spatial probability, that take part in the selection mechanism of new patch nuclei. Typically, increasing this value also increases the stochasticity of selection of patch pivot cells.	10

Outputs

Name	Type	Description
Modified Continuous Landscape	Map Type	Map of remaining stocks.
Modified Probabilities	Map Type	Map of depleted spatial probabilities.
