In fact it is very important to get this right when loading rasters and setting patch variables from them. it was all taken care of in the “setup-gis-world” function It took me a while to see why this was necessary, as I assumed There is also a global scale factor that is used to translate meters into So we have “wood” for the polygons and centroids The netlogo lists into which the gis layers are loaded have to be defined as This is a very similar little model in R.Įxtensions This makes the gis extension available.
#Netlogo foreach code
Note the simplicity of the code for actually making the model run. The patches should know their area and the true distance to neighbours. Many more realistic elements could be built from here. Watch the ouptut in order to see on which parts of the network the populations persist. The model does not take into account the area of the habitat when evaluating extinction risk nor the absolute distance between patches when evaluating colonisation. In this case, the New Forest, but other vector layers can easily be used. While the model is too simplistic to represent any real situation it is paramaterised using real GIS data and therefore can be related to a known landscape. Sensitivity could be analysed using the behaviour space tool.

HOW TO USE ITĪs the model stands it is only useful for teaching the concept. The distances between them are used to set up the links. If an unoccupied patch has any linked patch which is occupied it can be recolonised with a certain probability (col_prob expressed as % in the interface) HOW IT WORKSĬentroids are loaded using the GIS extension. This is a very simple implementation of a Levins type metapopulation.Īll patches are assumed to be homogeneous with respect to extinction risk when occupied (ext_prob expressed as % in the interface)

The model files can be obtained from here.

Otherwise, return the opposite, which end is then necessarily positive.Note that the applet version does not seem to work with GIS data. to-report absolute-value number is the input ifelse number >= 0 if number is already non-negative return number (a non-negative value). Inputs are values that the instruction uses in carrying out its actions. and turn a random amount end c) Whether the instruction takes an input (or several inputs) or not.

The keyword end marks the end of the instructions in the procedure. These verbs are preceded by the keyword to (instead of to-report). to-report average-wealth this reporter returns the report mean of turtles average wealth in the end population of turtles o A command is an action for an agent to carry out. These names are preceded by the keyword to-report. Most reporters are nouns or noun phrases (e.g. o A reporter computes a result and reports it. b) Whether the instruction produces an output (reporters) or not (commands). to setup comments are written after semicolon(s) clear-all clear the world create-turtles 10 make 10 new turtles end (one semicolon is enough, but I like two) In this program, setup is a procedure (since it is implemented by us), whereas clear-all and create-turtles are both primitives (they are built into NetLogo). The NetLogo Dictionary has a complete list of built-in instructions (i.e. Once you define a procedure, you can use it elsewhere in your program. There are three characteristics that are useful to remember about instructions: a) Whether the instruction is implemented by the user (procedures), or whether it is built into NetLogo (primitives). Instructions Instructions tell agents what to do. The observer: The observer doesn't have a location - you can imagine it as looking out over the world of turtles, links and patches. Links can be directed (from one turtle to another turtle) or undirected (one turtle with another turtle). Links: Links are agents that connect two turtles. Each patch is a square piece of "ground" over which turtles can move. Patches: The world is two dimensional and is divided up into a grid of patches. Turtles are agents that move around in the world. Agents are beings that can follow instructions. Izquierdo () The NetLogo world is made up of agents.
