Plot environmental filtering responses (sanity check)

A teaching/method-testing helper that visualises whether a gradient-responsive species shows higher abundance in quadrats whose environments are near the configured optimum (with tolerance band).

This plot is designed to pair with audit_environmental_filtering(). It is intentionally simple: it uses per-quadrat mean environments (as computed by calculate_quadrat_environment()) and the site x species abundance matrix.

Usage

plot_filtering_response(res, species = "all", add_smooth = TRUE)

Arguments

res

A spesim_result list returned by spesim_run().

species

Species labels to plot. Default "all" uses all gradient-responsive species in res$P$GRADIENT.

add_smooth

Logical; add a loess smooth (teaching-friendly). Default TRUE.

Value

A ggplot object.
