Overview

About

Maintained by Rogelio R. Muñoz-LiFirst published 2026-07-301 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Implements the 'ASC-CFD' (Assemblage Shift Characterization - Community Functional Dynamics) framework for decomposing functional community restructuring into positional (centroid displacement), dispersive (functional dispersion), and boundary (convex hull volume) components. Provides hierarchical null models (structural, quantitative, identity) to evaluate statistical significance and species-level leverage analysis to identify taxa driving functional shifts. Supports both temporal (paired) and spatial (pairwise) comparisons.
