This function runs a FATE dynamical landscape vegetation simulation.

FATE(simulParam, no_CPU = 1L, verboseLevel = 0L)

Arguments

simulParam

a string corresponding to the name of a parameter file that will be contained into the PARAM_SIMUL folder of the FATE simulation

no_CPU

(optional) default 1.
The number of resources that can be used to parallelize the simulation

verboseLevel

(optional) default 0.
The logger verbose level : a FATE simulation can render different levels of information (from 0 to 4, see Details).

Value

None

Details

This function allows to run a vegetation simulation with the FATE model, based on a simulation folder and a species simulation parameter file.

A FATE simulation can be parallelized, using the no_CPU parameter, given that the user machine is multi-core !

Quantity of informations are rendered by the software into the R console, and the verboseLevel parameter allows to filter which level of information is printed :

0.

shows any message

1.

shows any message, except debug

2.

shows only warning and error messages

3.

shows only error messages

4.

mute
