Pack: Generation time (T) pack

Description:

The time T required for the population to increase by a factor of Ro (net reproductive rate) e.g.: If Ro (net reproductive rate) = 5.56 and T (generation time) = 8.055

The average plant of the species Gentiana pneumonanthe in Terschelling in the year 1987 replaced itself with almost six new plants and took approximately 8.05 years to do so.

========================================================= This workflow has been created by the Biodiversity Virtual e-Laboratory (BioVeL http://www.biovel.eu/) project. BioVeL is funded by the EU’s Seventh Framework Program, grant no. 283359.

This workflow was created using and based on Package ‘popbio’ in R.

Description:

This documentation (tutorial to run the workflow) explains how to run a workflow that belongs to the pack with same name.

The Generation Time (T) Workflow provides an environment to calculate the generation time. The generation time is the time T required for the population to increase by a factor of Ro (net reproductive rate). In other words, T calculates how much time takes to a plant/animal to replace itself by a factor of Ro.
