To simulate growth easily, use the Beverton-Holt equation. Which is:

bevHoltFct(R, N, alpha)

Arguments

R

a numeric vector of species growth rates

N

a numeric vector of species population sizes

alpha

the competition coefficient see alphaterm() for its computation

Details

Nt+1,i,x=Ri,x×Nt,i,x1+A×α where t is time, i is the species of interest and x the patch it occupies.
