ALGR: A multi-purpose agricultural landscape generator in R.

ABSTRACT: Agricultural and ecological modelers commonly use maps as input for spatially explicit simulations. While real world maps are often used, they are limited by being static objects, therefore making it difficult to assess how patterns within the landscape contribute to ecological processes. Agricultural landscape generators (ALG) are a useful tool for simulating maps in a more flexible way. They can increase robustness of models that rely on landscape maps as input, they allow modelers to give spatial representation to non-spatial models, and they are a useful tool for recreating spatial patterns in agricultural-dominated landscapes. A limitation of previous ALGs is that they have rarely been designed for general use (non-open source software, not written in R, and designed for specific proj
