windscape: Model Landscape Connectivity by Wind
Model landscape connectivity by wind for ecological and
evolutionary analyses. Summarize long time series of gridded wind data,
downloaded from reanalyses or supplied by the user, into wind roses
describing directional conductance between neighboring grid cells. Model
dispersal through them with least-cost path and random walk algorithms, to
map windsheds around sites and estimate pairwise connectivity among them,
test hypotheses relating wind to ecological data, and visualize wind and
connectivity with 'ggplot2'. The approach builds on Kling and Ackerly
(2020) <doi:10.1038/s41558-020-0848-3> and Kling and Ackerly (2021)
<doi:10.1073/pnas.2017317118>.
