Modified Random Clusters
Do you have questions or comments about this model? Ask them here! (You'll first need to log in.)
WHAT IS IT?
A implementation of the modified random clusters method for landscape pattern simulation described by Saura and Martinez-Millan (2000) and implemented in SIMMAP (http://www2.montes.upm.es/personales/saura/software.html#simmap). Used previously in Millington et al. (2008, http://jasss.soc.surrey.ac.uk/11/4/4.html)
HOW IT WORKS
Follows the Steps A-D described in Saura and Martinez-Millan (2000, p.664-665)
HOW TO USE IT
Select the number of land cover (or habitat, etc.) types to be generated in the map. Select the cluster-probability to determine amount of clustering. Select whether von Neumann or Moore neighbourhood rule should be used. Click 'generate-landscape' button. Once landscape pattern is generated the map can be exported to ESRI ascii grid format by clicking "export-map".
THINGS TO TRY
Examine how the size and number of patches produced varies for different values of number-of-types, cluster-probability and neighbourhood type.
EXTENDING THE MODEL

Model not running (Question)
Hi there! I am pretty new to NetLogo and trying to do something that incorporates the code from this model. There are a few glitches that are preventing the model from running, any advice or help on that? Thanks, Ale
