Create named list of area parameters

Usage

create_area_pars(
  max_area,
  current_area,
  proportional_peak_t,
  total_island_age,
  sea_level_amplitude,
  sea_level_frequency,
  island_gradient_angle
)

Arguments

max_area

Numeric defining maximum area.

current_area

A numeric with the current island area at present (i.e., at the end of the simulation).

proportional_peak_t

Numeric value from 0 to 1 indicating where in the island's history the peak area is achieved.

total_island_age

Numeric defining total island age.

sea_level_amplitude

Numeric defining amplitude of area fluctuation from sea level.

sea_level_frequency

Numeric defining frequency of sine wave of area change from sea level.

island_gradient_angle

Numeric defining the angle in degrees specifying the slope of the island.

Value

list of numerical values containing area and sea level parameters for island ontogeny simulation
